"You and I, we should turn the page." Watch this official trailer for the indie drama The Man Who Sold His Skin, from Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania. This is one of the five Best International Feature nominees at the Oscars this year, an interesting choice considering the quality of all the films submitted. But I quite like this one, it's bold and provocative in many ways. Yahya Mahayni stars as Sam Ali, a Syrian refugee who agrees to have a European visa tattooed on his back. His own body turned into a living work of art and promptly exhibited in a museum, Sam will soon realize to have sold away more than just his skin. The film is "a meeting between two worlds, it is a film about art and creation… [and] about using human beings as commodities – a Faustian pact between the privileged and the damned. It is a film that will seduce you! It is a gorgeously shot, controversial, satirical art-world, story." Also starring Dea Liane, Koen De Bouw, and Monica Bellucci. I highly recommend keeping an eye out for this - it's a must watch discovery. ›››
