However, in Alex Schaad\u2019s SKIN DEEP, there\u2019s a palpable lack of understanding between the swapped parties, rendering the whole ordeal a rote analogy for body dysmorphia.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving on a mysterious island of their own volition, manic depressive Leyla (Mala Emde) and placid boyfriend Tristan (Jonas Dassler) find themselves in a commune led by Leyla\u2019s friend Stella (Edgar Selge) and her father\u2019s partner Roman (Thomas Wodianka). However, the mind of Stella is no longer in her own body and is instead trapped inside her father\u2019s. In a distressing cold open, we\u2019re shown that her father\u2019s mind died of an aneurysm while in Stella\u2019s body (why remains unexplored), rendering them unable to switch back. No time is wasted on the minutiae of the swap\u2019s mechanics: a form of crushed-up drug, engineered perhaps by Stella\u2019s brain scientist father and ingested before a ritualistic cleansing.<\/p>\n<p>The concept peddled within the cult-like island is the chance for couples to switch bodies with another couple. For two weeks, with the caveat that anyone within the quartet can \u2018withdraw\u2019 from the process at any time, they get the chance to work through whatever they need to. For Leyla and Tristan, it\u2019s to help work through their relationship problems stemming from ex-dancer Leyla\u2019s depression, where she\u2019s no longer dancing but drowning \u2013 literally, in her ravishingly shot dreams \u2013 in her inability to find happiness. They switch bodies with fellow couple Fabienne (Maryam Zaree) \u2013 an ex of Roman\u2019s \u2013 and oafish brute Mo (Dimitirij Schaad). For the Mo and Fabienne partnership, their motivations differ. While Fabienne wants to understand her partner, Mo believes this will be a sex-fuelled two-week orgy, crudely telling Tristan that he should \u201cclean the pipe\u201d every day he\u2019s in Mo\u2019s body. This level is about as far as Schaad takes the motivations of his characters, with their flaccid characterisation deemed superfluous by the third act and disappearing entirely from the picture.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSchaad faces a distinct problem when discussing gender and sexual fluidity, as each element of an idea is presented while nothing is fleshed out. Schaad seems to want to speak on body dysmorphia, but by swapping bodies, he\u2019s failing to navigate what it means for both parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Schaad faces a distinct problem when discussing gender and sexual fluidity, as each element of an idea is presented while nothing is fleshed out. Schaad seems to want to speak on body dysmorphia, but by swapping bodies, he\u2019s failing to navigate what it means for both parties. There is no second party for people with body dysmorphia; Schaad posits that they would be happier outside their body while confining others to it. Sure, Leyla is happier and full of life when outside of her own confining shell, which would indicate her body is the problem, but Tristan isn\u2019t satisfied with the experiment. So when Tristan decides to end the experience quickly after they are sexually assaulted, Leyla is bitter over it and is angry to be back in her own body. It comes across as selfish rather than desperation to be out of her body once again. Schaad also has the film feel indifferent to the assault experienced by someone outside their own body, as it\u2019s seemingly played for laughs. There are also some prickly connotations in showing a body-swapped individual committing assault.<\/p>\n<p>For all the thorny discussion it wants to make, the characters remain tone-deaf to one another throughout. There\u2019s no understanding between them all, a particular problem for a body-swap film. However, an interesting point is made during the characters\u2019 swap: Tristan notes that Mo is going deaf, which is why he\u2019s always so loud. It\u2019s one of the few times another perspective is brought up \u2013 a small note is made about Mo\u2019s belly in contrast to Tristan\u2019s slim physique \u2013 but it\u2019s thrown away far too quickly as it returns to a flat commentary on dysmorphia.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c\u2026muddled logic indicates the script cannot provide anything beyond superficial concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The film has elements that would work more effectively in the context of clinical depression. For instance, when occupying Leyla\u2019s body, someone experiences her depression. While dysmorphia tends to focus on the flaws of the body, the film frequently speaks about the mind, with next to no visual language contributing to depicting any real-world experience of dysmorphia. When Schaad introduces Roman\u2019s story, the script proposes that he got clean from drugs and alcohol by switching bodies with Stella\u2019s father. It\u2019s an intriguing idea, but audiences are left perplexed about how that would work. If the film proposes addiction as only mental, did Roman continue craving? This muddled logic indicates the script cannot provide anything beyond superficial concepts.<\/p>\n<p>The film is handsomely shot, wearing its MIDSOMMAR inspirations on its sleeve and stunning with the dreamscapes that Leyla enters. However, there\u2019s an unfortunate scarcity of finesse to this analogy. SKIN DEEP has high ambitions but is too unfocused, and a lack of attention in navigating the finer elements of body dysmorphia squanders the film\u2019s intriguing premise.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Skin Deep - Trailer - English subtitled\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TXRolpCcxlI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n    <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
