Pedro Almodóvar will premiere his latest film this Friday in Spain "The Skin I Live In«, And at a press conference he commented that this time he is betting on a more sober record, although with some black humor. But…
«People on the street tell me, people of all types and conditions approach me and say: 'Go back to comedy, I've laughed so hard with you.' The last film where people have laughed a lot is 'Volver', where there is a lot of humor too«.
In addition, the manchego commented that «I have four unfinished scripts and one of them is a comedy, so there is a 25 percent chance out of the four that I will do one again.«.
Loosely based on the novel "Tarantula" by Thierry Jonquet, "The Skin I Live In" -see trailer- will count the history of a plastic surgeon, Dr Ledgard (Antonio Banderas) who, after his wife was burned in a car accident, investigates with human guinea pigs the possibilities of creating a new skin with which he could have saved her.
According to the filmmaker, the protagonist moves between "extreme love" for a woman and "extreme love for a profession", but does not contemplate the existence of the other and is a psychopath.
