Director Pedro Almodóvar wasn’t just thinking Alfred Hitchcock and “Frankenstein” when he made his new plastic-surgery-gone-amuck thriller “The Skin I Live In” – in which a doctor does some terrible things in the operating room to a beautiful woman who's not there by choice.
Initially, his plan was to shoot a silent film in black and white, the director revealed at a Q&A following a showing of the film Tuesday night at the Landmark Theater, part of TheWrap’s ongoing Awards Screening Series.
In 2002’s “Talk to Her,” “I shot a nine-minute [silent] short called ‘The Shrinking Lover,’” the director told TheWrap’s Steve Pond, who hosted the discussion.
