    The human rights issue discussed in the film is very interesting, because love loses freedom in the country, and devotion to art loses freedom in the world. The two things that should be the most proof of human rights and freedom are the reasons why I almost fell into redemption. The irony is that regardless of domestic and foreign countries, they are virtuous. The faces of the people are the same. The photography is very design, very artistic, the characters are portrayed a lot, and the ending...

    Masterpiece Warning ⚠️What's really interesting about it is the massive amount of slight wide-angle distortion, out-of-focus, repeated refractions and reflections, false split screens, and even really stuck Skype footage that go to extremes in the exploration of form (Lance Moss and Ostrund the kind that will make you cry). But what the hell is this...

    Three and a half. It and "White Tiger" should make up for each other, there is a lack of loose images, here is the lack of solid drama, the length of love seems to run into other movies, and the theme that I care about is only a large part of the time. It's just a topic, the movie didn't dig deep, it just relies on artistic audio-visual language to make a rendering, but it also demonstrates what a current new movie is like, which is undoubtedly very...

    The refugee version of black Venus, as a refugee, has a Schengen visa tattooed on the back, becoming a work of art, a commodity, and an object, and then has the freedom to travel around the world. Only a genius can come up with this...

    The film's practical significance is greater than its artistic value, because it involves social issues such as human dignity and racial discrimination. But it does cause us to think about issues related to artwork carriers: (1) Can artworks be presented on human skin; (2) The ownership of such artworks; (3) The dispute between ownership and human dignity. I don’t know if Switzerland really has relevant legal regulations for this, but through the performance of the male protagonist in this...

    The five Olympic candidates have been completed, and this one is undoubtedly the worst. The problem lies in the director's ability to control, holding a gimmicky subject without a clear purpose of discussion, all topics are touched on the fly, and the symbols are limited to the list and display, so that there are completely redundant family and love lines. Fill the void in the play. In the end, it is a mess of neither genre nor author. The reversal of the ending is even more superfluous,...

    On the whole, it is better than the representativeness of the concept of hedging between refugees (human rights) and art (capital). Although the public is protesting against the exploitation of the third world, the ending that seems to be a divine turning point still has to be achieved by means of capital. Is there anyone? Can there be true redemption? Still digging too shallow and not strong...

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.
