*ACTION/THRILLER*
One of the best movies around that you’ve never heard of! International superstar
Scarlett Johanson delivers! Aliens descend upon Earth with a specific mission
in mind: To abduct hitchhikers and take them back to their home world, where
human meat is considered a delicacy. Is
"Under the Skin," in which Scarlett
Johansson plays a mysterious woman luring men into a fatal mating
dance, a brilliant science fiction movie—more of an "experience" than
a traditional story, with plenty to say about gender roles, sexism and the
power of lust? Is it a pretentious gloss on a very old story about men's fear
of women, and women's discomfort with their own allure? Does it contain
mysteries that can only be unpacked with repeat viewings, or is it a shallow
film whose assured style and eerie tone make it seem deeper than it is?
