Dans ma Peau - 2002 - Marina de Van
It’s not often I find a film I can’t watch,
but this week I managed to find two.
Celine and Julie Go Boating was 3 hours of randomness
But Dans Ma Peau was something very different.
Marina de Van manages to truly challenge with her film about her own body, and a series of events that leads to extreme self-harm.
The first time I was a little drunk on the train, and couldn’t stomach it.
The second time was on the way to work.
Standing up on a train watching harrowing images of people cutting themselves is not an easy thing.
But I’m glad I watched it.
Depicting extreme violence in such an honest way is quite a feat.
Marina de Van also has a writing credit on 8 Women. I need to watch that again!
