IN MY SKIN
Marina de Van’s deeply personal feature film directorial debut was released in 2002 and shocked audiences everywhere with this story about a woman and her relationship with auto-cannibalism. After a disfiguring leg injury, a young woman (de Van) develops an unsettling secret relationship with her own body in which pain is pleasure, mutilation is love and hungers of the flesh have a mind of their own.
