THE MAN WHO SOLD HIS SKIN film still

One of the five 2021 Oscar nominees for Best Int’l Feature Film, this provocative new drama tells of a Syrian civil war refugee in Lebanon who agrees to let a Mephistophelian Western tattoo artist use his bare back as a “canvas” in exchange for money and entrée to Europe. Inspired by a true case, this wildly unorthodox tale veers from romance to satire, black comedy to tragedy. With Monica Bellucci. ‘A slick, sublimely shot musing on freedom.” –Screen Daily. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. 104 min.
