IN MY SKIN

IN MY SKIN

Original Title:
Dans ma peau

France, 2002
Director: Marina De Van

9/10

 A movie that really got under my skin: extremely disturbing and shocking, but also very thought-provoking, dramatic and emotionally deep. Director and main actress Marina de Van's portrait of a self-mutilating woman is so powerful and impressing, it's incredible. Don't get me wrong: all actors in here are great, but De Van's performance is so outstanding and believable, it actually makes you think that it is a documentary.

The story itself is brilliant, the script is perfectly written and the dialogue is just great. Some terrific cinematography, a beautiful score and loads of intense self.mutilation scenes that are just fantastic.

An excellent movie!
