With her first feature film in 2002, director and actress Marina De Van gave viewers a raw and captivating experience, a movie that doesn’t fit into any category in French cinema. In My Skin is a must-see body horror film. It tells the story of a (literally) consuming love for the body, mixed with transgression and eroticism. 

The story is about Esther, a cheerful Parisian woman in her thirties. The young woman works in marketing and aspires to be hired by the company where she is currently on assignment. With her boyfriend Vincent, she plans to buy an apartment. During a party, Esther falls and doesn’t realize until she gets home that she has injured her leg. This deep wound becomes an obsession for her. Esther develops a fascination with her own flesh and begins to cut herself, while hiding this new passion from those around her.

When the movie is released, it’s a shock. The French and international press praises the young filmmaker’s virtuosity, and In My Skin quickly gains a reputation among fans of transgressive cinema inspired by David Cronenberg, as well as among viewers impressed by the film’s symbolic dimension. Marina De Van would later describe her addictions and her relationship with dependency and self-destruction in her books, which already formed the basis of her first film.
