Under the Skin
London-born director Jonathan Glazer sharply divided critics at the 2013 Venice Film Festival with this quixotic and dreamlike sci-fi drama and he's is likely to do the same to UK audiences. Adapted from Michel Faber's story of the same name, Under The Skin centres on a beautiful young woman called Laura (Scarlett Johansson), who drives around the country in her large van, picking up unsuspecting men like Andrew (Paul Brannigan) with the promise of sex. As they wander into her various dimly lit lairs, these would-be suitors are oblivious to the shocking truth: Laura is an earthbound extra-terrestrial who sheds her skin during copulation and overwhelms them at the height of their pleasure in a sea of viscous oil-like gloop.
