"In my skin," written, directed, and starring Marina De Van. It's her magnum opus, her way of trying to communicate what body dystrophic disorder feels like. It's a slow burn drama, where she cuts her leg and doesn't realize it. After following a trail of blood she realizes she's hurt and goes to the doctor. After that incident, she becomes obsessed with how her body works, and starts cutting herself intentionally. The film very slowly descends into madness. In interviews she states that she did not mean to make a horror movie, but rather was looking to find a visual explanation for what she went through at a young age. In real life, she injured her leg and a chunk needed to be removed. Seeing suck a large piece of herself on the operations table getting removed caused a disassociation between her identity and her body, which caused a few years of therapy. The film is very slow. It looks at the complex relationships between her, her best friend, her boyfriend, her boss and fellow workers, and ultimately her own skin. Very gory and difficult to watch, but well worth it.

Their flashing tongues, spitting out blood and poison.

LogisticEarth posted:Love (2011). The space station one, since there are many films with that title. I loved that movie. It may have been because my mother chose to watch it while visiting, and refused to turn it off even after being completely lost in the story. Where else are you going to find a gripping story of a man, a sole survivor, in an effort to stay alive mixed with a civil was documentary and a time/space continuum that eventually ties itself all together?
