The first trailer for Scarlett Johanssen's new film
Under the Skin has hit the web and (AV quality issues aside) it looks intriguing and positively mind-blowing, though I'm hard-pressed to tell what the heck is going on. This arty, ambitious sci-fi flick, directed by Jonathan Glazer (his first film since 2004's
Birth), has already generated a lot of
talk and divided critics since its screenings at Telluride and Venice Film Festivals.
The Guardian calls it an "extraordinary malarial dream";
The Telegraph says "astonishing";
Variety didn't show as much love, describe it as an "ultimately torpid and silly tale of an alien on the prowl". Me? I'm sold.
