Antonio Banderas in Shocking Plastic Surgery Thriller

By Roger Friedman

The theme song for Pedro Almodovar’s latest creation should be “When A Man is a Woman.” The film, “The Skin I Live In,” should also be of interest to plastic surgeons and their patients all over the world. Wicked and twisted, the sci fi psychological thriller stars Antonio Banderas as doctor who makes those guys from “Nip/Tuck” look like kindly old Marcus Welby. Basically, the bad bad doc takes out a hideous revenge on his daughter’s presumed rapist. It’s sick and preposterous as only Banderas could maintain the suspended disbelief involved. Luckily Antonio and the beautiful Elena Ayana are terrific and sexy enough to make this tale work.
