Under The Skin (2013) - It Gets Under Mine!
★☆☆☆☆ |
Honestly I can’t make head nor tail of ‘Under The Skin’ that some
consider hideously beautiful. Well, I don’t understand how something hideous could
be beautiful or beautiful be hideous at the same time, but I guess that’s how
people feel about art films in general. Anyway it seems bizarrely stupid to me,
probably because a) I’m no fan of Scarlett Johansson; b) it delivers no story
but a lot of make-no-sense stuff, and quiet still moments; c) nothing thrilling
going on really like there’s supposed to; d) the underscore indeed pretty
disturbing; f) last but not least, I was never warned that art films are not
necessarily beautiful. That they could be rather gloomy-doomy in fact!
‘Under The Skin’ is obviously too abstract and bleak for me. It
really gets under my skin and makes me feel a bit uneasy since I’m convinced
that this is a big bad world full of big bad wolves. The good are few. The bad
are a lot. Suppose we can still tell the good from the bad!
