Great film!
I really liked this movie! Expectations were low, and from nowhere, I couldn’t believe what was going on. A new race of man! Deep! Go into it with an open mind, and take in the story. Truly a unique story/concept for me.
.
More of a introspective drama than anything else–and a very slow moving one at that. There really is zero mystery in what the end result will be, and the body of the movie wasn’t as thought provoking or moving as it maybe wanted to be–just kinda boring. The end result makes the time patiently watching this seem unrewarding. Didn’t care for this much, and wouldn’t recommend it to others.
What a pleasant surprise: “White Skin” is an original and quite intelligent variation on the vampire/succubus-theme, sadly quite overlooked and underrated.
It’s a slow-moving but pretty suspenseful movie, that deals with various interesting themes, such as racism, vampirism, treatment of cancer, obsessive love and family ties.
Technically it’s just brilliant, especially in terms of the absolutely stunning photography and the splendid lighting.
It’s very well written and very well directed, the visual and make-up effects all look great, and the calm but highly effective soundtrack is just excellent.
Biggest highlight: the wonderful cast. Every single actor delivers a marvellous performance, especially the strangely beautiful Marianne Farley and the extremely likable Frédéric Pierre.
Flaws: a bit too slow in the middle and a quite unsatisfactory ending.
Apart from that, everything else is just great. Highly recommended!
