Yep. The trailer piqued my curiousity.

it annoyed me the first time and even more the second time
just for that I should give the movie a chance then?!

I think the first time I saw the trailer I thought it looked like some sort of fetish film. It's definitely not, though. It's a whole different kind of weird.

sold!

I keep thinking "What was that" all the way home. Weird doesn't even describe it and not to mention deeply disturbing, on so many levels.
I can't decide if I liked it or hated it (what does that say about me ). It is very artistic in terms of directing and the acting very impressive especially with themes that ran through out film. Its one of those film that builds up and most is revealed towards the end.
Its very compelling never the less. 8/10

A brilliant plastic surgeon, haunted by past tragedies, creates a type of synthetic skin that withstands any kind of damage. His guinea pig: a mysterious and volatile woman who holds the key to his obsession.

Is this film supposed to be a metaphor then?

This is out this Friday. I've just written a spoiler-free review here: http://wp.me/p1LZHn-30

I've said it already but see this film. It's an experience, if nothing else. It may even be worth p*ying for. ;-)
