There is a pivotal scene in "Skin," a truth-is-stranger-than-fiction story plucked out of South Africa's apartheid, when young Sandra Laing's father shouts the good news to the family -- "She's white again." Surreal and ironic, the moment captures the sensibility of this ambitious if sometimes uneven indie film, with its eye always on the larger issues of race to be found within...
"Skin," a fact-based story about a South African woman who was born with black skin to white parents, chronicles her lifelong struggle living between two cultures in the age of apartheid.
In a true story set in apartheid-era South Africa, Sophie Okonedo plays a black woman born to white parents (the result of racial mixing generations earlier). The actress brilliantly evokes her shy character and gets excellent support from Alice Krige and Sam Neill as her mother and loving but bigoted father. Skin is a tragic, enraging, and uplifting tale. The most feel-good aspect may be director...

Trick or treat! In case you haven't already, you'll...
“Skin” is a fictionalized retelling of the true and terrible story of Sandra Laing, a South African woman whose race was classified and reclassified by the government.
You could probably forge a good, absurdist, dark comedy out of a government where racial identity can be declared and reversed by official decree, and...

OTBKB is thrilled to present a semi-infrequent series of pieces to be contributed about film and written by Pops Corn. He writes: "Thanks for allowing me on your screen. I promise not to always cover weird horror. It's seasonal." BAM gets real loose consistently every year at Halloween. A few years back, they shocked me by busting out the truly (and unjustly) unloved Halloween III: Season...
It's likely that no one was more startled than Abraham and Sannie Laing, both white, when their daughter Sandra was born black. The apparent result of a recessive gene springing to the forefront generations later, the Laings faced great challenges raising their oft-ostracized girl in apartheid-era South Africa. Skin , which opens tomorrow in LA and NYC, recounts this fascinating, true story. The film's...
