Lisez l’Europe goes to the movies: Cold Skin

Cinema.  Montreal, 14/09/2019

Presented by "Lisez l’Europe – the meeting place for European books“, this film series consists of European literary adaptations. Sci-fi, urban life, return to the 1950s, desire for freedom… there is a little something for everyone! Lisez l’Europe consists of a group of European cultural institutions whose mission is to present a contemporary perspective on European literature in Montreal.




Cold Skin is a 2017 French-Spanish science fiction horror film directed by Xavier Gens and based on the 2002 novel of the same name by Albert Sánchez Piñol.

On a remote islet of the South Atlantic, two men barricaded in a lighthouse repel attacks of cold-skinned creatures. The protagonists think they are in the heart of darkness, while the darkness is in their heart. Civilization against barbarism, reason against passion, light against darkness: so many magnetic poles that attract and repel each other in a perfectly cyclical history, because man always obeys the same fears, the same atavistic desires.
