    The front is how to get a visa and status, and the back is how to get rid of the shackles. But the ending felt too rushed. What impressed me was that this person was disobedient at the beginning of taking pictures and was unwilling to lower his head. Later, he automatically cooperated with his head and lowered his head very low. From the back, he could only see his back, as if the rest of his body did not exist. Later, he found himself by scaring...

    When sam had acne on his back, the artist rushed over angrily to take sam for surgery, and a sign xs that said "exhibits are under restoration" hung up on the exhibition hall (doesn't recognize Monica Bellucci at all...) (plot...

    A small concept, but highly focused on accomplishing basic irony in an art form, after all, the human body has so many possibilities that are ignored, and there are very few characters involved in the story but every transformation is a subtle chemistry reaction, the composition of the film often has a strange sophistication of beauty, the protagonist's carcass is unscientific and sexy blue silk is simply divine, the auction...

    Very interesting movie. The concept of "refugees becoming works of art" is far greater than the Syrian issue, which is more like a gimmick, and I believe it will bring a lot of criticism to the film. And becoming a controversy is discussed, just as the artist said in the play, "It's not terrible to be scolded in the system, the most fearful thing is that no one discusses it". This is precisely the reason why Bingxue's smart female director has gone so smoothly. Her last work "Beauty and the...

    The subject matter is indeed suitable for Venice, and maybe it can be taken to the Biennale next door. However, despite the real prototype, the film still resembles the director's impression after watching "Square", "Guardian of Jupiter" and "Happy Ending" at the same Cannes year. As a typical film festival "Euro Pudding", it is naturally indispensable for those packaging lens language (although it is not too much), but the final ending turned out to be a heist film style, coupled with the main...

    The art scene is ok. There are a lot of hot topics that I want to discuss in it, but unfortunately, they all make the whole movie shallow, and there are some problems with the connection. The male protagonist's mother is so hard working in Syria, and the male protagonist finally let go of himself? A batch of...

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.
