The Skin of Love

The Skin of Love (La piel del amor) is a 1973 Argentine romantic comedy-drama film directed by Mario David, who also wrote the script, working with Isaac Aisemberg.

Shot in Mar del Plata, it stars Susana Giménez, Claudio García Satur, Héctor Alterio and David Llewellyn.

A young man on holiday, drawing at the beach to pay for his expenses, meets an attractive woman with long, honey blond hair.

Agustín Mahieu of La Opinión wrote: "Both the story and the cast illustrate remarkably about the director's expressive dichotomy, forced to grant a series of elements to introduce others more in keeping with his seriousness".

Carlos Morelli of Clarín believed that the production was a mistake, remarking that "anecdotal insufficiency of the chosen matter makes such a languid and lazy visual procedure that, unintentionally, it dangerously approaches the arrogant emptiness of certain French cinema."
