Robert from Sketchy Details back with another edition of Foreign Chops. This month, we’re exploring the cinema of Spain with a lot of great writing from LAMB members. The most popular film was The Skin I Live In and, unsurprisingly, Pedro Almodóvar was the most popular director (though Luis Buñuel got some love, too). Check out the links and stay tuned for the next Foreign Chops announcement.
