الملخص

This study examines The Man who sold his skin (L’Homme qui a vendu sa peau) by Kaouther Ben Hnia, focusing on how the film employs contemporary art as a lens to address social, political and ethical issues. The central problem revolves around the commodification of human existence and the intersection of freedom and exploitation in a globalized world.

The methodology involves a critical analysis of the film's narrative, symbolism, and visual elements to uncover its critique of systemic inequalities, the art market's role in perpetuating exploitation, and the moral dilemmas surrounding migration and consent. The findings reveal the film's capacity to challenge capitalist values and provoke discourse on humanity's boundaries, positioning it as a significant piece of socially engaged cinema.
