Under the Skin (2013)
Directed by Jonathan
Glazer this film based on the novel of the same name by Michel Faber
stars Scarlett Johnasson. A strange woman drives round Glasgow in a
van picking up men.
While undoubtedly
there is something going on under the skin here I found the execution
of the film to be too slow and vague even for my tastes. The script
ends up straying pretty far from it's source material and while you
can tease out some themes of race and genre from the film just far
too much is left unexplained. Scarlett Johnasson gives a good
performance as a protagonist that essentially has no personality but
otherwise this film bored me a little at times.
2/5
