Mr. Skin's Nude at Film Festivals

We love the trend of older, skingy actresses finally saying, "Aw, fuck it," and ditching their clothes for the camera. It's not quite as satisfying as an actress reaching eighteen and deciding the same thing, but it's far better than if they go the Jessica Tandy route and wait until they're in their eighties. So kudos to Marisa Tomei for repeatedly unveiling her tomei-toes in her forties, most recently in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. We told you about this a few months ago, but it's nice to see that director Sidney Lumet didn't go the Mike Nichols route and burn all evidence of Marisa's nude scenes after getting the public all excited. That Lumet, he's a class act.
