{"product_id":"second-skin-unrated-version","title":"Second Skin (Unrated Version)","description":"Amazon.com\n\nExcellent acting elevates Second Skin to earnest heights of heartfelt melodrama in contemporary Madrid. It's a Spanish soap opera in the most intelligent sense, inviting comparison to the intimate passion plays of Pedro Almódovar and Eric Rohmer. Director Gerardo Vera's approach is more conventional, despite the fact that this modest tale of marital discord involves an unhappy wife, Elena (Ariadna Gil), whose suspicions are only slightly mistaken. Instead of another woman, her husband Alberto (Jordi Mollà) is having an affair with Diego (Javier Bardem, from Before Night Falls). He's tormented by his genuine love for his wife, child, and gay lover, and his inability to choose between them. Unfortunately, the screenplay decides for him, resorting to a last-minute twist of fate to resolve the dilemma that Alberto couldn't solve on his own. It's a cop-out solution, more suited to bad cable TV, weakening an otherwise honest and emotionally involving film. Recommended, with minor reservations. --Jeff Shannon\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000088UZ4\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000088UZ4.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Javier Bardem|Jordi Moll|Mercedes Sampietro|Ariadna Gil|Cecilia Roth|Javier Albal|Adrian Sac|Cristina Espinosa (II)|Pilar Castro|Ramiro Alonso|Silvia Espigado|Carmen Grey|Christian Queipo|ngela Rosal|Luis B.
