"Director Pedro Almodovar explains the thinking behind his new film The Skin I Live In. Interviewer mentions at the beginning of the interview that film is based on the Thierry Jonquet novel Mygale."

 "As always, strong family ties prevail as motivating forces in Almodovar's film, an adaptation of the literary thriller Mygale (Tarantula) by Thierry Jonquet."

Visit the movie website for Pedro Almodovar's new film The Skin I Live In, based on Thierry Jonquet's novel Mygale.

"Mygale is insidiously disturbing, all the more so because Thierry Jonquet achieves his effects in such a slender book. Called Tarantula in some editions, the novel was the inspiration last year for movie director Pedro Almodóvar's The Skin I Live In."
