IN MY SKIN

Feminism and French New Extremity have always been a powerfully potent combination in the hands of female directors like Catherine Breillat (FAT GIRL) and Claire Denis (TROUBLE EVERY DAY), 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.

The Beacon is proud to be premiering the glorious new restoration of IN MY SKIN by Severin Films!
