Feminist body horror IN MY SKIN (2002) — Art House Theater Day screening!
July 24 : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Arkadin is proud to present this screening as part of Art House Theater Day! AHTD is an annual program of AHC that brings audiences together to celebrate all that art house theaters – and independent film – contribute to our cultural landscape: ambitious and innovative art that provokes, challenges, entertains, and inspires.
“An uncommonly assured and provocative debut, as gorgeous as it is gruesome.” – Time Out New York
Feminism and French New Extremity have always been a powerfully potent combination in the hands of female directors like Catherine Breillat and Claire Denis, and auteur Marina de Van joined their righteously twisted ranks with her gorgeous and grotesque 2002 horror breakthrough IN MY SKIN. Esther has been recovering from a recent leg injury when she develops an increasingly disturbing relationship with her body, one where the lines between painful pleasure and self-mutilation become irrevocably blurred. Body horror filtered through serrated expectations of body image, IN MY SKIN is a powerful vision of feminist rage that will sink its teeth into you and never let go.
