| Summary |
Jean-François, Ronald, Alexis, Cédric, Benoit, and Maxim are gladiators of modern times. From the strongman to the top-class bodybuilder, to the veteran who has become a trainer, they all share the same definition and obsession: overcoming the limitations of their bodies. They are waiting for the next competition, slaving away in the gym, and following extreme diets. A SKIN SO SOFT is a free exploration of the regimented daily lives of these misunderstood monsters. Nominated for Best Canadian Feature Film at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. *"Their narcissism is repellent yet riveting, and Mr. Côté comes at his subjects with an artful, exploratory obliqueness that's endearingly curious, as if discovering a whole new species." - Jeannette Catsoulis, **The New York Times*** |
