In the world of Leopard Skin, we're brought along with characters on a situation that would seem surreal on a Bunuel level (i.e. Three hapless thieves break into a house where the hostages aren't all that afraid of them and have much bigger, more perverse problems hanging over their heads), but there's a a sort of freewheeling existentialist bent to it that elevates it past being either too strange or just too quirky. It's just about right, which is tough to do.
At different times it behaves like a romp, like a thriller, like a drama about women who have been mistreated by a powerful man, like a French sex comedy, it has dark undertones that somehow transform into a love story that folds all the pieces together. It's crazy, it's awkward, and it's even got heart too. For those who are tired of spoon-fed tripe by the streamers it's an excellent escape into one of the most unconventional (but most pleasantly genre-tastic) shows of the past 25 years.
