Product Description
The film's awkward hero is Harry (Hannah), a painfully shy young 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 hetrosexual Flint (Hill), 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 wonderfully joyful resolution to its unlikely tale.

I bought this film because i am a great John Hannah fan, and this in so so many ways just shows how brilliant an actor he is. Almost every role he undertakes is a new challenge, yet he always gives such heart and feeling into his characters. I felt so much sympathy for the two main characters, portrayed in such a sweet and lovely way which is so often cheapened in films. Their love was so true and believable, anyone who has ever felt a yearning or longing for someone will understand what Harry felt for Flint.
The symbolism throughout made the film very different and unique. On many occasions, the strong images spoke louder than the script, which i love because it makes you think about things and work them out for yourself. The only problem was that John Hannah was not nearly as unattractive as he was supposed to be. But i don't think anyone's complaining.

As I adore John Hannah, I bought this DVD not knowing what it was like and I was suprised to find that I did not want it to finish. It is a story of two lonely people who find love, Harry (John Hannah) is feed up with the London Gay scene, he has a Madagascar birth mark, which not unusually is a turn off for the Gay Scene, and he meets Hetro Flint (Hill) and frienship turns into love. If your on the Gay scene you will find the film boring, But if you have been there done it, you may find the film a very pleasant viewing.

This movie is supposedly about the developing relationship between to men. However, it is not very obvious from watching the movie. This movie takes itself far too seriously, is rather pretentious and offers little in respect of dialog, plot, motivation or character development. Considering the actors involved I was surprised that the outcome is so disappointing.
