THE SKIN I LIVE IN
via Pedro Almodovar
Tell me if it burns
harder than human skin.
Excuse the transgenesis.
So I must forbid you from leaving.
Kill her or keep her here forever.
I’ve got insanity in my entrails.
Not a chance.
I’ll have to blackmail him.
Look,
I never told her,
Vicente, leave Cristina alone.
Everything has to be cleaned.
I’ve got insanity in my entrails
now . . . your name is Vera [Cruz].

After witnessing Georges Franju's Les yeux sans visage (1959) in November, I couldn't resist viewing Almodovar's reworking of it in 2011. Even though my film-going partner and I had virtually given up on Almodovar, we agreed that he had made a rather impressive work on this occasion.
