Under the Skin (2013)



A mysterious woman seduces lonely men in the evening hours in Scotland, and events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery.

A strange, surreal and unsettled attempt to visualize humanity from an alien perspective, a difficult, but ultimately fascinating experience.

Maltin**1/2: "Contemplative, metaphysical sci-fi doesn't go anywhere story-wise but almost succeeds as a lesson in style as substance, with an often erotically charged, trancelike mood. And with minmal dialogue, Johansson gives an impressively physical performance that captures her character's growing awareness of the strange world - and body - in which she's trapped."
