Film Night (3rd Thursday of each month)
Winner of the BAFTA for Best Film Not in the English Language, this drama-thriller lacks Almodovar's famously charged romance, replaced with a wonderfully bizarre and unpredictable detour into art-house ick.
In honour of his late wife who died in a flaming car accident, scientist Dr. Robert Ledgard is trying to synthesize the perfect skin, which can withstand burns, cuts or any other kind of damage. After twelve years he manages to cultivate it. As he gets closer to perfecting this skin on his flawless patient, the scientific community starts growing sceptical and his past is revealed.
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.
Not always liked by some but always admired and respected Almodovar again enters a dark and curious world to produce what is at once an unsettling tale but achieves it almost within a melodramatic genre.
