Teaser Trailer for THE SKIN I LIVE IN with Antonio Banderas

Here's an interestingly creepy teaser trailer for the new Antonio Banderas film The Skin I Live In directed by  Pedro Almodovar. The film tells the unsettling story of a plastic surgeon who gets himself a human guinea pig to test out a new type of skin he is creating. The film is set to premiere up at the Cannes Film Festival, and will be released for the rest of us to see in November thanks to Sony Pictures Classics. This looks like it will be a solid psychological thriller worth checking out. 

The film was directed by and also stars  Elena Anaya, Marisa Paredes, Jan Cornet, Roberto Alamo, Blanca Suárez, Eduard Fernández, José Luis Gómez, Bárbara Lennie, Susi Sánchez, Fernando Cayo and Teresa Manresa. 

Here's the synopsis for the film:

Ever since his wife was burned in a car crash, Dr. Robert Ledgard, an eminent plastic surgeon, has been interested in creating a new skin with which he could have saved her. After twelve years, he manages to cultivate a skin that is a real shield against every assault.

In addition to years of study and experimentation, Robert needed a further three things: no scruples, an accomplice and a human guinea pig. Scruples were never a problem. Marilia, the woman who looked after him from the day he was born, is his most faithful accomplice. And as for the human guinea pig…
