under the skin
A mysterious woman seduces lonely men in the evening hours in Scotland. Events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery.
Definitely not for the mainstream crowd. Jonathan Glazer's experimental sci-fi horror Under The Skin is a polarizing, mesmerizing experience. Scarlett Johansson's brave performance is extraordinary as a mysterious alien femme fatale driving around Scotland in a van seducing lonely men. Glazer uses hidden cameras to shoot improvised scenes of Johansson talking to real people. Many have frequently compared Jonathan Glazer to Stanley Kubrick. The surreal imagery in Under The Skin echo the last twenty minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Mica Levi's eerie score sounds incredible with the creepy atmosphere. Under The Skin is slow-paced and inaccessible. Mainstream audiences are going to hate this movie. Under The Skin is more to be admired than enjoyed. Scarlett Johansson is fascinating, but I don't think I'll be seeing it again.
