""Shaking Flesh", unlike most of Almodóvar's films, is not an original screenplay. Adapted by Pedro Almodóvar, Jorge Guerricaechevarría and Ray Loriga, the narrative is inspired by a novel by Ruth Rendell. Nevertheless, it is still a movie with all of the Spanish director's signatures - the colors, the warmth of the story, the memorable performances, the presence of motherhood in the tones of the narrative. All of this to tell the story of a man (Liberto Rabal) who takes a shot after a confusion and, imprisoned, sets up his revenge. In a story in the best "butterfly effect" style, the novel-like plot is flavorful and brings a strong sensual tone, with one of the most beautiful sex scenes in the history of cinema. A strong and powerful movie that stays in memory."
