Directed by: Chris Newby

A bold and original British movie with powerful performances from its lead actors, John Hannah - sensitive and tentative and Bernard Hill - exuberant and boisterous. 'Madagascar Skin' turns the odd couple completely on it’s head.

The film’s awkward hero is a painfully shy man with a Madagascar-shaped birthmark, who flees the nightmares of the city and the unhappy gropings of gay clubland. He ends up alone on a rocky seaweed-strewn seashore. In the strangest of circumstances he bumps into the larger than life, overtly heterosexual Flint, a cheeky bruiser with a definitely dodgy past. Hiding out in an abandoned cottage, their mutual suspicion begins to melt.

Made with Chris Newby’s eye for lyrical imagery and small but meaningful detail, 'Madagascar Skin' is a film with surprising moments of intimacy and a wonderful joyful resolution to its unlikely tale.
