The Skin I Live In

beautifully complex... about identity, desire, revenge, science... suspenseful, melodramatic, hilarious... gorgeous photography, design, music... my new favorite Almodovar.

    Hiii, yes I've been watching some of the 2011 releases. I know isn't Sans Soleil lovely? I'd like to see it again too actually. Did you see 'La jetée' too? I like the films you've been watching recently, I always like seeing your ratings. I enjoyed 'A Separation'. I recently got around to watching 'The Turin Horse' too, which I loved. I just watched 'Bleak Night' tonight, which a very interesting film that maybe you should check out. Any classics you'd recommend as of late? Hope your New Years went well.

    Cool. I think you'll really enjoy 'A Separation' when you see it in the theatre. I downloaded 'The Turin Horse' online, I may be able to obtain it for you I can check?? 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' was a film I really enjoyed stylistically from this year. Also, Bleak Night is great as I mentioned and Carnage is a fun film with a great script too.
