    The ending of the comedy is obviously the biggest failure of the film. Even though Sam betrayed his skin and dignity, he seems to have ascended to heaven compared to the Syrian refugees in dire straits. This kind of ending seems to be intentional, as if the European artists and cultural people in the movie are pointing at the country with a condescending gesture, making people feel uncomfortable waiting for the Sams to really detonate everything, not as if It's just a joke in the movie to scare...

    There are some similarities with "Square", but the shooting here is more straightforward. The female point of view also seems to have appeared. The previous time when the girl asked the blind date man for help for Sam, he called him a classmate. After entering the police station, Sam did not cover the blind date man, but directly called him her husband. My more far-fetched female perspective. The irony at the end makes it seem dreamy and...

    Jeffrey has devilish eyes and makes a soul deal with Ali. The flesh is turned into a picture frame, and the Schengen can only be obtained on the passport. The significance of contemporary art is not artistic value, but to face the meaninglessness of the times. Geoffrey knows this very well. That layer of skin is rising, but Ali is getting farther and farther away from his beloved...

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.
