Now this is a tough one to talk about; not because of its delicat dark themes, but i found myself loving the idea of the film rather than the film itself. The Man who Sold his Skin, treats powerful subjects but lacks that sauce to be truly evocative, and i think that's due to mainly two reasons, one, it deals with too many themes two, it gets satirical, and i don't think its aware of that the film wanted to talk abt wat too many things it ultimately left room for none, and some elements even clash with each other, but no worries they are easy to pin point as they litteraly spit it out for you, and i'll follow in the movie's footsteps and name them out for you 1-Refuge crisis (syria in perticular) 2-Freedom of mouvment 3-Objectification 4-Turning Suffering into commodity 5-Human rights and it's realtion to Art 6-Political oppression 7-Identity 8-Love in times of instability as you see there is a bunch of them and few smaller ones mixed int bunch, despite each one of these being an extremely interesting idea, and i can easily find myslef writting essays about all of them, the issue remains that are just ideas thrown outthere, i'll be operating outside the environment that the movie establishd, and for the sake of the film i'll take it as gateway to these subjects, an invitation for the watcher to dive in by his own and explore them by himself. isn't that what cinéma does? it shines a light where it has gotten a bit dark, and it reminds the audiance to look there.
