Abstract

The article is an aspectual interpretation of Philip Ridley’s debut film titled Reflecting Skin (1990). The author focuses on references to the animal world, showing the function of animal hybrids and totems in the reconstruction of the world of a traumatized child. The reading of the film is based on the assumption that Philip Ridley builds the world presented in his work on the references to the surrealist tradition of representation.
