The genre of The Skin I Live In is a spanish drama and thriller.
The camera angle clearly shows the womans face staring the other way from the man, suggesting her fear for what is going on around her, and the man who seems to be inspecting and operating on her. In addition to this, her costume is very clinical. She has a mask on her face and is wearing a skin coloured costume, which could again suggest her living in fear.
It is high light which could also show normality. What I mean by this is that if it was low light then things would seem more frightening, and suspicious, however the high light could express the fact that they are in a safe and secure environment.
The man is very close to her, in fact he is touching her face. However he does not look like a predator as he is being very delicate and careful with what he is doing, also suggested by the gloves. However it still looks very strange by his and her positioning of what he is doing. It questions the audience and makes them want to watch more.
