Almodóvar wins the BAFTA for 'The Skin I Live In'

Almodóvar obtains his fifth BAFTA from the British Academy for 'The Skin I Live In', awarded as best foreign film. Alberto Iglesias is on the verge of winning an award for the soundtrack of 'El topo'.

The skin I live in, directed by the Spanish Pedro Almódovar, won this Sunday the BAFTA for best non-English language film awarded by the British Academy for Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).

The skin I live in se ha impuesto así a los trabajos de los directores Denis Villeneuve, Luc Déry y Kim McCraw (Incendies); Wim Wenders y Gian-Piero Ringel (Pina); François Ozon, Eric Altmayer y Nicolas Altmayer (Potiche); y Asghar Farhadi (A separation).

Por su parte, el compositor Alberto Iglesias no ha no corrido la misma suerte y se ha quedado en puertas de conseguir galardón a la mejor banda sonora por su trabajo en la película británica Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (El topo), categoría en la que ha sido derrotada por la banda de The Artist.
