Aus Haut und Knochen

About This Movie

Aus Haut und Knochen is a haunting exploration of adolescence and the dark corners of self-perception. Christina Adler crafts a gritty atmosphere that pulls you into Lara's turbulent world, grappling with the suffocating grip of anorexia. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to linger on the tension between her internal struggles and the external pressures she faces. The performances are raw, particularly the lead, who embodies Lara's conflict with such authenticity that it lingers long after the credits roll. What sets this film apart is how it doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of the illness, depicting it with a starkness that feels both real and unsettling. You get a sense of being trapped in Lara's mind, and that’s what makes the viewing experience so striking.
