Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In (La piel que habito) has been hotly discussed since it debuted at the Cannes Film Festival this year, and thanks to Shock Til You Drop we can have a look at the mesmerizing new Spanish trailer for the film.
It concerns the brilliant plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Ledgard (Antonio Banderas), who is obsessed with creating a perfect and impenetrable skin following the death of his wife in a car crash. The new trailer is haunting, surreal and completely hypnotic.
The original poster art, inspired by antique botanical and anatomy books it would seems, is also worth a look if you haven’t seen it yet:
The Skin I Live In is released in Australia on 26 December 2011 from Paramount.
