"A ravishing must see-movie - with a must-keep-secret twist"
Daily Telegraph
"Kept me gripped from first to last"
The Guardian



Academy Award® winning director Pedro Almodóvar (Talk To Her; Volver) returns with a horrifying yet captivating high-class thriller The Skin I Live In.


Reuniting Almodóvar with previous collaborators; Golden Globe® nominee Antonio Banderas, the beautiful Elena Anaya and Spanish legend Marisa Paredes, The Skin I Live In is released for the small screen on Blu-ray and DVD on 26 December 2011 from Pathé Productions Ltd.

Based on the bestselling book Tarantula, The Skin I Live In tells the unsettling tale of Dr. Robert Ledgard (Banderas; Once Upon a Time in Mexico), a brilliant but slightly unhinged plastic surgeon who, after his wife is burned in a car crash, becomes obsessed with creating a new type of skin that could have saved her.

In addition to genius, Robert needs three critical elements for his invention to succeed: a lack of scruples, an accomplice and a human guinea pig.

Scruples were never a problem. Marilia (Paredes; All About My Mother), is his most faithful accomplice and as his guinea pig, he has found Vera (Anaya; Talk To Her, Sex and Lucia)...

The Skin I Live In was nominated for the prestigious Palme d'Or at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and is tipped for numerous awards in 2012. Step into Dr Ledgard's laboratory if you dare when The Skin I Live In released on Blu-ray and DVD this Boxing Day.
