Skins

I cannot look at this film without pondering how Casanova got it off the ground. The characters, sets, and events are so outlandish that I'd figure nobody would want to invest money in a film like this, but here we are. Sometimes art wins out, and the result is a sprawling mix of comedy and drama with an excess of wtf moments.

The characters in Skins are outrageous and Casanova isn't afraid to put their deformities and/or perversities in the spotlight, but there's always a layer of humanity present. The presentation is slick (prep yourself for lots of pink and purple), the performances are good, and I couldn't keep count of times I was staring at the screen, gobsmacked. Great cinema.
