A few weeks ago, we got a new look at Pedro Almodóvar‘s The Skin I Live In through a series of enticing and unusual production stills. Today, the first footage was released from the film, in the form of a thirty-two second teaser trailer that fully reflects the obscurity and provocation of everything we’ve heard about the film to date. Based on Tarantula, a 2005 crime novel by Thierry Jonquet, The Skin I Live In will have its debut at this month’s Cannes Film Festival. [The Playlist]
The story, which you can read more about over at the novel’s Amazon page, tells “the story of a plastic surgeon carrying out a vendetta on the man who raped his daughter.” Frontlining the cast is Antonio Banderas; he will be supported by Elena Ayana, Marisa Paredes, Roberto Alamo, Blanca Suárez, Eduard Fernández, and José Luis Gómez.
The Skin I Live In will hit theaters this November.
