Set to screen at Cannes next month is Pedro Almodovar’s ghastly new film THE SKIN I INHABIT, which will subsequently hit the U.S. and parts of Europe on November 18th. As such, Pathe Distribution has developed a handful of new stills from the film to leer at, my favorite being the one of Antonio Banderas’ character with a sinister glint in his eye…a busty female patient on a slab behind him. Dive below for the rest…

Also starring Elena Anaya, Marisa Paredes, Jan Cornet, Roberto Alamo, Blanca Suarez, Eduard Fernandez, Jose Luis Gomez, Barbara Lennie, Susi Sanchez, Fernando Cayo and Teresa Manresa – THE SKIN I INHABIT (aka THE SKIN HABIT, aka THE SKIN I LIVE IN) goes like this:

Since his wife perished burnt in a car crash, Dr Ledgard (Antonio Banderas), a well respected plastic surgeon, gets interested in the creation of a new type of skin that could have saved his wife. Twelve years later he succeeds in cultivating it at his lab, taking advantage in the advance made on cellular therapy. To get to his goal he doesn´t doubt in trespassing the ethical limit of the transgenesis with human beings. But this will not be the only crime he will commit…

I love that premise. Reminds of EYES WITHOUT A FACE, or MANSION OF THE DOOMED. Hell, there’s even some FRANKENSTEIN in there. What’s not to dig about that company?
