Cold Skin

I liked it, despite being disappointed with it by the end. I enjoyed it, I must repeat this, despite missing its source material's bite in almost every scene. I enjoyed it! I enjoyed it. It was not as good as it could have been.

I miss Gens' misanthropy. Bring it back. Be angry with us. Smack us around. We deserve it. I suspect that the birth of his son caused him to try to inject warmth into Albert Sánchez Piñol's novel. That was a mistake. Freda, not warmth.

Making the narrator forgivable, never mind making him likable!, removed the point of the story from its plot. Humanity, in La pell freda, is the monster. Undoing this relationship removes its inescapable discomfort. The novel forces its reader through a bleak trial of unwilling self awareness that requires contemplation, while the movie replaces this mental process with an uncomplicated and wearily primitive fear of being killed. I so wanted Xavier Gens to trick me with this. I kept waiting for the trick. He makes some attempts at complicating a motive of just staying alive, injecting anticolonial sentiments and some surprisingly common philosophical questions. They're not unwelcome, but they are in the end overly simplistic. Treatment of racial xenophobia and the horrors of war is unexceptional, perhaps problematic if taken as direct metaphor, and, frankly, pointless - since we see from the very beginning, without any doubt, that these creatures are not "beasts". The film's musical score is typical, and forgettable.

Cold Skin's cast, visual craft, and moody location set are where its cinematic value is found. The script was unfinished.

Still I would recommend it, for the imagery alone, including the absolutely perfect performance of Aura Garrido, who embodied both Lovecraft's Deep Ones and the timeless sirens of myth, so well that I was brought to emotion several times. She is without question the star and center of this film, and she's worth seeing it, all by herself. More elaborate and expensive fish-person costumes never captured it the way she did in this performance. Many will compare Cold Skin to The Shape of Water, it's inevitable, but it's unfair. Water, it goes without saying, will be remembered for as long as cinema is relevant - but it lacked Aura Garrido.

Ray Stevenson, RIP, also delivered an excellent and thoughtful performance, as ever. I'm glad his star rose high just before he passed; I hope it leads some viewers to seek this movie out.

Xavier Gens; to regain your title, you must recall why you felt such loathing for human beings. Then you must marry that feeling to your newfound love of us, in some way. I think you'll shine brighter than ever, when hatred and love for humankind have merged inside you, their differences erased.

When that happens, please hire Ms. Garrido again.

COLD SKIN (2017) | Directed by Xavier Gens.

“I would have to live in a solitude-like exile for 12 months far from civilization with a job as monotonous as it was insignificant...to log the intensity and direction of the winds.”

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

#your brother is a vampire. he's sitting across the table from you chatting with your mother about her day #and he's dead and he's gone and he's never coming back. #he laughs the same and he talks the same but his arm is cold when he grabs you in a headlock and your dog won't be in the same room with hi #he'll still hang around watching TV with you and give you wedgies and make stupid jokes #but you can't tell him about the bullies at school anymore because this thing with your brother's face will just find them and kill them. #and not even stupid fucking Jason deserves what the monster in your dead brother's skin would do to him. #your brother is dead and lost and right there in arm's reach and gone forever with no hope of ever getting him back. #i'm sure there are corollaries to be written about like ghosts and zombies but this is the one i'm personally hung up on recently

Dün yazamadım. Bugün detaylandıracağım.

Gündüz 15 dk. Duolingo da Almanca çalıştım.

Daha sonra Kemeraltı’na gittik. Her gittiğimde yeni keşifler yaptığım tarihi Kemeraltı Çarşısı. Her zaman ruhuma iyi geliyor, tıpkı bir zihin labirenti gibi, dolaştıkça kendimi çözüyorum :)

Akşam Cold Skin filmini izledim. Güzeldi, daha önce Willem Dafoe ve Robert Pattinson The Lighthouse filmini izlemiştim. Metaforları severim. Bir film, kitap veya herhangi bir sanateseri nde anlatım dolaylı, metaforik, sembolik ve referansları varsa çok daha fazla ilgimi çekiyor. The Lighthouse ve Cold Skin erkeklerin erkek olma yolculuğuna dönüşüyor. Deniz ve erkek, izolasyon, ada, keşif hep bir adam olma yolculuğu. Vakit bulursam bu konuda daha fazla yazacağım.
