In the new clip for Under the Skin, Scarlett Johansson is a driving alien force to be reckoned with.
A new clip for Jonathan Glazer’s “Scarlett Johansson is an alien succubus” movie, Under the Skin, is upon us and it is as trippy and hypnotic as the early reviews from the TIFF have led us to believe.
Literally nothing more than Johansson’s out-of-town protagonist driving around and cruising for some fast food, the movie seems entrancing in its methodical pace, as does Johansson’s eye-line, demonstrating again that she is quite the underrated actress.
Based on a novel by Michael Faber, this project is directed by Jonathan Glazer. If you have seen his previous feature film work, namely Sexy Beast (2000) and Birth (2004), then you may have an idea of what to expect. The trippy premise is about a mysterious stranger who travels the backwoods and American highways through the most remote countryside searching for a man. One that she can eat without notice.
The film has developed some infamy as well based around controversial nude scenes and a ponderous premise. However for geeks with an interest in slightly more disturbing and off-the-beaten starship sci-fi, it could be what they’ve been long looking for.
Under the Skin opens in select cities on April 4, 2014.
