The Man Who Sold His Skin

But the skin is as deep as you'll get with these characters (rimshot!). The film is extremely surface level. It has an amazing premise but that's it. The trailer is infinitely more thought provoking because there is only about 2 minutes worth of ideas in this film anyway and at least the trailer raises your heartbeat with a cool song. The film does nothing interesting with the premise other than hit you over the head with the most basic metaphors about human dignity and immigration. The only thing the film felt passionate about was the cuckold love story and even that was intrinsically shallow. As with so many indie films, you can tell it was designed for attracting distributors at film festivals rather than stimulating an audience.
