About
The Reflecting Skin is a feature film screening. Directed by Philip Ridley, it follows 8-year-old Seth in 1950s small-town Idaho who, after his father's vampire stories, becomes convinced that the town recluse, an English widow named Dolphin Blue, is a vampire stealing the souls of his friends. When his older brother Cameron returns from military service and takes a liking to Dolphin, Seth sets out to save him. Starring Viggo Mortensen and Lindsay Duncan, the film blends horror and humor with visuals recalling Edward Hopper paintings.
