La piel que habito ( The skin which I inhabit) 2011

When I first looked at the release date of Almodovar's new film starring Antonio Banderas, I thought it was far- off, a distant prospect, an ambiguous yearning for the future of Spanish film. In actual fact, it's just around the 2010 corner, a speck you can actually see in the distance... I'm excited about this one, a true revenge story, based on Thierry Jonquet's novel "Mygale" in which a plastic surgeon hunts for the men who raped his daughter. I expect it makes for good viewing and that the protagonist has a few more scalpels than most people to 'finish the job'
