In My Skin

Director: Marina de Van

2002 / 93min / 4K DCP

De Van writes, directs, and stars in this morbidly transfixing, at times suffocatingly intimate psychodrama from the high heady horrifying heyday of New French Extremity, playing Ester, a seemingly well adjusted Parisian career woman whose life changes dramatically after a chance injury to her leg one night sends her into a spiraling obsession with her body, in all of its frailty and friability, one that in time will become, in more than one sense, self-consuming. “As unrelenting an exploration of isolation and dissociation as Roman Polanski’s Repulsion… [A] remarkable debut film.” —The New York Times

Restoration by Mercúrio Produções
