Watch The Skin For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Perfectly adorable

Excellent, a Must See

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I enjoyed the movie but I am a bit biased since I had a bit part in it. I was in the US Army and serving in Naples when Cavani came looking for extras.The books is pretty good, so if you read that you will appreciate the movie even less because quite frankly, although it tries to follow parts of the book, it doesn't do a good job. I agree with another writer who said that it was pretty disjointed. I felt that. It seemed to jump from one scene to another and often there was no order to them. Also, I don't remember Alexandra King's part in the book - a US pilot with a US senator husband. That was pretty ridiculous! The best thing about the movie, I feel, was the soundtrack.By all means see the movie if you have a couple of hours (or whatever the running time is) to kill or if, like me, you were an extra.(PS - if anybody can find a copy of the movie for me in English please contact me. Thanks!)

My father was in this film as the "Veterinarian" and therefore I was able to be on the set for a couple of the scene's being filmed. This was a great experience and being up close to the filming, the director and the cast was really a fantastic opportunity and then to see the film when it was released in an Italian movie theater as a finished product was a real treat.Over the years I have had contact with a few of the American's that were cast for "La Pele" (most of them as extra's). Many of the American's were from the NATO base in Naples, Italy and were friends with or knew my father.This may not have been the greatest war film ever made but the experience that I had was great and will always be remembered.Mike Cohen / [email protected]

We're still stunned. Such actors, Marcello Mastroianni, Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale. And then such a bad, bad movie, unbelievable but true. There's no story line at all. We're jumping from one non plot into another very unclear little not important plot. What a mess it is. Very strange thing happen, for example an American tank is torn apart by about 10 boys in 5 minutes. When the soldiers come back there's nothing left. Offcause: it's very logical and believable. Mastroianni explains to another American officer that this is the way it goes in Naples, Italy. And then there's discrimination. What?! Yes, discrimination. Of black American soldiers, called different, searching for blond... Of soldiers from Morocco, who always have one thing on their mind and only want one thing, the French officer explains to the American general (Burt Lancaster). I'm sorry to write this, it's so stupid: but that's what this movie is! Please don't watch it!

This movie, which is situated in Italy in 1944, when the Nazis were being driven out by the American army, drew a lot of attention in Italy when it came out in 1980. I watched it in an Italian cinema the year after its release and did not like it.In my opinion, the director tried to draw a large audience by producing a movie wíth a maximum of shocking scenes, hoping that it would be discussed a lot (which was the case). The movie perspires, however, such a negative atmosphere, that even the presence of such famous actors like Marcello Mastroiani and Claudia Cardinale could not save it.That a war movie presents some shocking scenes is quite natural. But in « La Pelle » they are not balanced by any scenes transpiring humanity and positive sentiments.That a movie about the same period can be an enjoyment to watch, is shown, for example, by « La Notte di San Lorenzo » by the brothers Taviani, a film I can warmly recommend. I would not recommend « La Pelle » to anyone.
