Conclusion:
La piel que habito is a good mixture of drama and thriller that shows the emotions and behavior of the main actor in two serious tragedies where he lost two loved ones. The director shows how man can behave in such situations and what is able to do to meet his needs for justice or vengeance.
The acting is almost at the top level. Antonio Banderas is good in role of Robert and it would be unfair not to mention the great acting of Vera (Elena Anaya) who with his charm and great eyes full of emotion plays a seemingly innocent victim whose life depends solely on the will of Dr. Robert.
Would you behave as Dr. Robert Ledgard? Do you justify his actions? Watch the movie because this thriller definitely deserves your attention. Recommendation!
