He may have just turned 50, but Antonio Banderas is looking (nearly) as good as ever. He’s also been cast as one of the leads in gay director Pedro Almodovar’s latest movie, The Skin I Live In (La Piel Que Habito). It’s 20 years since the Spanish pair last worked together and 23 since Banderas played a psychotic gay stalker in Almodovar’s Law of Desire.

In this new horror/drama film he will play a plastic surgeon who enacts a brutal revenge on the man who raped his daughter. Almodovar promises a “horror story without screams or shock.”

So nothing like The Human Centipede, then. Have you heard about this movie? It’s been causing a storm and making people vomit in cinemas with its story of another sadistic surgeon who wants to, literally, create a human chain … permanently. Now you might not necessarily think having your mouth fixed to a guy’s arse is a bad thing, but we’re not talking rim-jobs here: there’s stitching involved…

Watch the trailer if you’re feeling brave; just don’t do it after you’ve eaten your dinner.
