Fra omslaget:

How is skin depicted on screen, be it as the body’s surface or its envelope? How do filmmakers represent skin in its multitude of marks, inscriptions, colours and textures? What aesthetic, symbolic, ideological, or even political values does skin adopt in cinematographic fiction, depending on the period and the cultural area of the film? To what extent can the surfaces of the image and the screen themselves become the film’s skin? In this book, researchers and cinema professionals offer answers to these questions through a plural and multicultural selection of films. This collective work dives into the epidermal imaginative world of directors from various backgrounds, at the crossroads of academic analyses and exclusive testimonies from those who work in the film industry. From Eyes Without a Face to La Piel Que Habito, from The Pillow Book to Memento, and including a few incursions into cinema from Japan, Great Britain, Russia, Portuguese-speaking or Spanish-American countries, this collection explores the multiple shapes, meanings, and implications of skins of and on the screen.
