I sacrificed an evening to go with wife to a cultural event in Tel Aviv where Almodovar's The Skin I Inhabit film was screened with a long, unending psycho-babble lecture by some liberal arts academician(ess). There had been coffee and cakes too but we were late and missed it.
Visually, the film is very impressive and beautiful. It took me ten minutes to stop reading the subtitles and start to follow the Madrid Spanish of the film, which sounds different from the Buenos Aires Spanish-Italian of the sixties I speak. The psycho-babbler spoke about the message of the film which is the meaninglessness of gender, sexual, etc. identities in the modern world. Well, yes, things are not as used to be.
