The Reflecting Skin

First feature film and one of very few – 3 films in 20 years – for Philip Ridley, british director but also an all-around artist (photography, painting, sculpture, theatre…), The Reflecting Skin sets in stone the obsessive questioning of an author whose characters get lost in their search of meaning, try to escape reality via a paranoid and mystical interpretation of the world. For Ridley, confronting real life is a quest where violence, as graphic as it may be, is always served with poetry.
