Beneath the Skin

1981·Horror·12m
7.1
"Relating a tale told by a girl on a swing, Beneath the Skin explores the contrast between the impersonal horror of a news story heard on television and the involvement of the storyteller in a nightmare, which gradually becomes more familiar and commonplace as the tale unfolds. The straightforward approach of the teller is humorously or frighteningly contrasted by a bombardment of visual images which mock or intensify the macabre flavor of the work."

Beneath the Skin
The disconnect and desensitization of the viewer to horror, manifesting in the disconnect between storyteller and visual, between viewer and film and between fiction and reality. Feels incredibly relevant with the amount of atrocities we're now confronted with every day
