The Serious Season

We are well and truly in the midst of the awards courting season. Basically this means time for the kids to stay in and now it is the grown ups’ turn to attend the cinema in droves.

The Skin I Live In

(dir. Pedro Almodovar, starring Antonio Banderas, Elena Anaya, Marisa Paredes)
