From Jeffrey Wells blog
Hilltop Bungalow
I was able to do about 20 minutes with the legendary Pedro Almodovar a bit after 6 pm yesterday, or just before heading over to the depression of Tintin. Our talk happened in a hilltop bungalow attached to the Chateau Marmont. I love talking to Almodovar because he's so open and expansive. Ask him a tiny little question and he'll give you a big sprawling answer. He's also a huge film buff and a Bluray fanatic, and can go on and on about any film, actor, director, Bluray...anything.
Pedro's English is easy and precise and fluent, but every now and then he relies on an interpreter, a dark-haired woman in her early 30s who really knows the language of film and Almodovar's work in particular. I love this recording because Pedro says what he says in English and Spanish, and this brilliant woman fills in the occasional gaps.
I loved what Pedro said about liking thrillers more and more, and that getting to this place of admiration required a certain maturity. Most people, I think, would probably say that a mature movie fan is one who has found his or her way into introspective personal films, foreign-language dramas, quirky indie stuff, documentaries, silent films. Thrillers are generally thought to attract unsophisticated viewers...no?
We didn't even talk about the new Almodovar Taschen book, which I got to leaf through a bit before our sitdown.
The subject at hand was The Skin That I Live In, of course. "See it at a midnight screening with a hip gay crowd," I wrote last May, "and prepare for doses of exceedingly dry humor and strange-itude in the general vein of David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers and Georges Franju's Eyes Without A Face.
"For this is a highly perverse and, typical for Pedro, lusciously sensuous film about a mad plastic surgeon (Antonio Banderas), a man with wealth and elegance to burn, recreating his dead wife and daughter with...well, let's not say."
I helped myself to an apple in the kitchen of Pedro's bungalow. I placed it in front of me as we spoke. As I was leaving and making my farewells, Pedro pointed to the apple and said, "You want another? Is one enough?"

I have seen THE SKIN THAT I LIVE IN..
What a shocking, disturbing film.. Not an easy one to watch ! And not easy to review because you just cant give away anything from the story...
I did not enjoy it.. We had a bad time but didnt think of walking out .. Actually we were tortured by Pedro and his perverse film..This will suffice to say !

This was definitely a darker film with hardly any of the humorous "Pedro" moments we've come to expect. I liked it, but didn't love it. Except for the clunky ending, which strayed from the source. Of course, I also knew what it was going in.

Almodovar's Skin leads nominees for Spain's Goya awards Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In leads the race for Spain’s Goya awards with 16 nominations.
The Skin I Live In might easily win for Best Actress (Elena Anaya); Adapted Script (Almodovar) and Cinematography (José Luis Alcaine). SOURCE

Of course, I also knew what it was going in. I knew it was sort of a thriller and didnt expect any humor. But I didnt know anything about Vera and Vincente which really shook me !!!
