Flick Picks: The Skin I Live In
Antonio Banderas is back. He’s a stylish cat in Puss in Boots, and a tortured surgeon in Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In, one of the most twisted movies of the fall. Almodovar has always been a fan of Hitchcock, but this time, he goes absolutely Psycho (and Vertigo). Both our critics agree that the subtitled film is really … wait, we won’t give away the ending.
