- Abstract:
- Spanish abstract: ´La piel que habito´, película de 2011 de Pedro Almodóvar, es una historia sugerente, llena de ecos de debates de actualidad, y que señala en muchas direcciones diferentes, todas interesantes, pero el núcleo donde se unen todas es un personaje tan patológico que es totalmente implausible, excepto como ficción cinematográfica. Esto impone a la película una limitación estética. ________________________________________________________________________________ English abstract: 'The Skin I Live in', a 2011 film by Pedro Almodóvar, tells a suggestive story, full of echoes on contemporary debated issues, and it points to many different directions, all of them interesting; but the nucleus here they all converge is a character so pathological as to be wholly implausible, except as a cinematic fiction. This is an aesthetic limitation for the film.
