"Peter Doherty: Stranger in My Own Skin" is an unflinching and intimate documentary that delves into the tumultuous life of British rock musician Pete Doherty. Directed by his wife, Katia DeVidas, the film offers a raw and candid portrayal of Doherty's struggles with drug addiction during the height of his fame as the frontman of bands like The Libertines and Babyshambles.
The film unflinchingly captures Doherty's battle with drug abuse. We witness brutally explicit scenes of his substance use, visits to rehab centers, and even the surgical application of implants to curb his body's reaction to narcotics
While the documentary explores Doherty's struggles, it notably avoids delving into personal relationships, including his marriage to DeVidas. The tragic case of Mark Blanco's death, connected to a party attended by Doherty, remains unaddressed.
