    It has something in common with "Square", and it can be regarded as a good work among this year's Austrian...

    The male protagonist insists on art for the sake of "the dignity of the common people". In order to accuse the "dark world", the artist makes a lot of money by showing his political works everywhere. Whether it is art or politics, in this real world, everyone is getting what they need. The perfect romanticism at the end dragged down the score of the whole film, thinking it was Shawshank....

    The reversal at the end is interesting, and the VISA tattooed on the back is a major metaphor. The topic of discussion is higher than "Youth of You", and it is estimated that it will win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in...

    "Self-owned", the obvious "typo" in the Chinese subtitles translated by Huajian Feng Lishi, is instead the key word in this cleverly conceived...

    Very wonderful play, it's too strange that Venice didn't give it to the main...

    It is said to be shooting immigrants, but the perspective is actually very ordinary, far inferior to "Synonyms"; said to be shooting the gap between the rich and the poor, isn't the spectacle-level auction just a copy of "Square"? The first half of the movie still has good ideas, especially the male protagonist's walk around the light, which is considered an annual action design, but the mother-in-law and mother's love scene in the middle makes the movie weaker and weaker, and the final...

    The ultimate materialization made him finally cross the national border, but he could only walk in the promenade of still life, unable to return to the painful but tender past, nor to enter the comfortable and golden future. People are not things, but some people and industries are really not things. It is rare for a film that focuses on contemporary issues to be cynical and intelligent at the same time, but it is not as subtle as Sweden's The Square in...

    The first one and a half hours can only be regarded as a mediocre story with empty subject matter as a gimmick, and only the last ten minutes finally gave the movie a surprise...

The Man Who Sold His Skin quotes

  • Sam Ali: Don't take it badly, ok? fuck you.

  • Jeffrey Godefroi: Some pessimists rule that art is dead. Well, I think art has never been more alive than it is today. With my latest work I am exploring a new realm... we live in a very dark era where if you are Syrian, Afghan, Palestinian and so on, you are persona non grata, hmm? The walls rise. And I just made Sam a commodity, a canvas. So now he can travel around the world. Because in the times we are living, the circulation of commodities is much freer than the circulation of a human being. Thus by transforming him into some kind of merchandise, he now will be able, according to the codes of our time, to recover his humanity and his freedom. Now, that's quite a paradox, isn't it?

    [laughs]

    Jeffrey Godefroi: Sorry, it's not funny.
