The Skin I Live In was so good I have been watching Pedro Almodovar movies and not found anything of that caliber, it must be seen. This was ok, i got bored halfway and quit.

As the title may suggest women here do the show with a brilliantly dialogued and character developed first part and a crazy funny ending that involves guns. What a well directed comedy it is!… Expand
