Comments

In this very free adaptation of a detective novel of Ruth Rendell, Pedro Almodóvar preserves especially the plays of the love and the desire, by recalling the course of a young naive and sensitive adult, camped with talent by Liberto Rabal.

Almodovar known as of this film: “Like quasi all my films, In flesh and bone is not easy to classify on the level of the kind. I know only that it is about the most disconcerting film which I made so far and who disturbed me the most. In flesh and bone is an intense, baroque and sensual drama (completely independent of the news of Ruth Rendell which was the inspiration) which holds of the thriller and of the traditional tragedy.”
