positive · AI labelView post →As I work through "It Came From the Closet" I'm thinking what horror movie I could write a personal essay about if I was asked. Probably The Skin I Live In but the essay is just about how the movie taught me that olive oil is hella good on toast.

positive · AI labelView post →The Skin I Live In TW especially for trans and gender non-conforming people because this is a revenge movie that deals with body horror and dysphoria and it generates inner community talk much the same way Sleepaway Camp does. Disturbing af. m.imdb.com/title/tt1189...

positive · AI labelView post →The Skin I Live In almost feels like a horror film, so might be most up your alley. This one is an extremely wacky comedy. It's hard to compare it to something when it feels entirely like it's own thing. Just bizarre. I loved it. Gotta check out more of his stuff.
positive · AI labelView post →THE SKIN I LIVE IN (2011) Pedro Almodovar's transgressive riff on EYES WITHOUT A FACE. Definitely a Boxing Day film. Cinematography by Jose Luis Alcaine, BOTD in 1938
neutral · AI labelView post →Finished reading Mygale, which was adapted into The Skin I Live In. Going to talk about both below. I'll talk about them assuming you've seen TSILI. If you've never seen the movie, you should! But go in COMPLETELY blind. Content warning for some "tough stuff"; can't elaborate more than that.
positive · AI labelView post →Whew! When Almodovar gets going, he REALLY cooks! I'll be digesting THE SKIN I LIVE IN for a minute, but we can never doubt Pedro Almodovar's prowess as a director or his love of beauty and color. #FilmSky #Films #Movies

I first watched it in college for a project where I had to compare it to Pedro Almodovar's 'The Skin I Live In'. Talk about a double-feature! #horrorsky #nowwatching #31daysofhorror
neutral · AI labelView post →The latest season of @rememberthispod.bsky.social prompted me to watch Billy Wilder's FEDORA this evening. One, terrific film. Two, I would wager a small amount of cash that a couple of moments in Pedro Almodovar's THE SKIN I LIVE IN referenced it. (No, William Holden does not wear a tiger costume.)

Just watched The Skin I Live In with some younger friends and boy howdy is that ever a movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Thinking about when my best friend and I watched "The Skin I Live In" and his reaction was utter disgust and never wanting to see it again, and my internal reaction was 'that movie was messed up but...to wake up forcibly turned into a hot woman with fireproof skin would be pretty fucking amazing...'
neutral · AI labelView post →Circa 2012 I was on a double date, a movie night. My gf and I had been together a while, her roommate was having a second date with a girl. The film he picked was The Skin I Live In (2011). Which was a wild choice. However he might have saved things if he wasn't insistent on how much he liked it.
