A Rare Topic Work
by Michael Kerjman (The Earth)
A work of rare topic with is self-fulfilment by self-mutilating to extend of self-destruction: a "sexually normal" female cut herself and eats own skin.
A question remains whether this for legal reasons "cognitive person" is really cognitive.
3/5
Not exceptional, but still pretty good.
by Paul N. Olsen
Here's one for all you kids who think self-mutilation is the thing to do. If you give this one a watch, you'll be treated to the sight of writer/director/star Marina de Van cutting into her arm like it's a piece of fresh steak, rubbing the blood all over her face, and sucking at her wound like a vampire.
Ever since scatterbrained advertising exec Esther accidentally falls onto a sharp metal instrument while wandering around outside drunk at a party, she feels the "mindless urge," as she calls it, to cut herself, much to the bewilderment of her friends and colleagues. She engages in increasingly serious acts of self-mutilation, even going so far as to preserving little pieces of skin in a formaldahyde-filled jar.
OK, if you think this is going to be some boring movie-of-week, think again. This is a horror movie, plain and simple. The cutting scenes are necessarily harsh and realistic. There's nothing pretty about seeing an increasingly pale and unhealthy-looking Marina de Van waking up from an all-night cutting binge, covered in crusty and dried blood.
Overall, a subtle and understated movie, reminiscent of David Cronenberg's 'Crash'...nothing too exceptional, but well worth at least a rental.
5/5
Haunting!
by slickmd627 (Massachusetts)
This film is disturbing and touching. It creeps inside our fears, desires, twitches, and manuerisms to show us that sometimes we are not in control. This film is one of maybe 4 films that has bothered me, but it was done beautifully and the character is told flawlessly. Do not see this film if you are faint-at-heart.
2/5
Weak
by Mr. Fantastic (Greensboro, NC)
There's no real violence here. Just some crazy, french chick that wipes blood from a knife onto her skin. Ohhhhh, I use the same 'horrifing' technique to put mayonaise on sandwiches. Some elements were entertaining, such as her attempt to conceal her insanity from her boyfriend and colleages, which built suspense and tension. Worth renting, but good luck finding a wierdo-foreign film like this at a rental store. I mean 'wierdo-foreign film' in a good way of course.
3/5
In my skin
by Laura E. Gonder (USA, Ohio)
In My Skin is a very hard movie to follow with it being in English subtitles and with every thing going on in the move. If you have a weak stomach for blood or self mutilation this is not for you. This movie is VERY graphic and shows a lot of self mutilation to the point of removal of chunks of skin.
In My Skin Summary
After Suffering Deep Gashes To Her Leg From An Accidental Fall, Esther (marina De Van), A Young Research Analyst, Becomes Preoccupied With Her Body And Skin, Especially Her Wounds. At First, She Merely Caresses Her Arms, Pinches Her Excess Skin, Or Traces The Cuts On Her Legs, But It Isn't Long Before She Is Carving Wounds Directly And Aggressively Into Her Own Body. Her Boyfriend (laurent Lucas) Becomes Understandably Concerned And Angry, But His Inability To Understand Forces Esther Into Reclusion To Explore Her Newfound Passion. Increasingly Unhinged - To Situations Of Perverse Dark Humor - Esther Seems Determined To Continue Her Compulsion Until The Removal From Her Own Body Is Complete.
Much like Roman Polanski's
Repulsion
,
In My Skin
chronicles a young woman's descent into madness. Esther (Marina de Van) accidentally gashes her leg at a party, but instead of being alarmed by the sight of her torn flesh, she becomes fascinated by it. She begins cutting herself, much to the dismay of her best friend (Lea Drucker) and boyfriend (Laurent Lucas), who are unnerved by her refusal to discuss her actions. From there things only get more horrifying, but it's not simply the fact of self-mutilation that makes
In My Skin
compelling, it's the movie's acute depiction of psychological dislocation. This is not a movie for everyone--the cutting is unsettlingly realistic and vivid--but viewers drawn to portraits of emotional extremity (like, for example,
The Piano Teacher
) will find
In My Skin
gripping. Written and directed by de Van, who co-wrote Francois Ozon's
8 Women
and
Under the Sand
.
