Live Flesh – Mit Haut und Haar (1997)

Live Flesh – Mit Haut und Haar: Directed by Pedro Almodóvar. With Javier Bardem, Francesca Neri, Liberto Rabal, Ángela Molina. After leaving jail, Víctor is still in love with Elena, but she’s married to the former cop -now basketball player- who became paralysed by a shot from Víctor’s gun…

“Almodóvar seems to be following the rule-u0026quot;Stick to one thing and do it well.u0026quot; As usual he was able to create great characters and involve good symbolism based on a story which is full of ridiculously impossible coincidences and the sometimes predictable, but always irrational behavior of the characters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs in some of his other films, the story involves characters who seem to be completely led by fate and always bound to their destinies. Each of the characters goes through a radical transformation in a relatively short period of time. In the end, noone is innocent and all are victims, but there is a romantic hope for a brighter future and a new start at life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI liked the new set of actors and actresses that were cast, and I would hope to see them cast differently in another film”
