Under The Skin

Director: Jonathan Glazer

2013 / 108min / DCP

Glazer’s stark, moody sci-fi chiller finds mysterious, buxom Scarlett Johansson stalking the streets and highways of Scotland by night in search of lonely men to take home with her—“home” being a pitch dark, otherworldly chamber where they’re enveloped by tar pit-trap floors by their seductress, an alien in human form. A bold combination of neorealist grit—Glazer makes use of concealed cameras and nonprofessional actors—and fantastic subject matter, resulting in one of the most unique and disquieting genre films of recent years. “Visually stunning and deeply disturbing: very freaky, very scary and very erotic.”—The Guardian
