Anybody Seen "Under the Skin"?

Post by DenverBuff » Mon Mar 28, 2016 1:55 pm

Simply one of the weirdest, trippiest, mind-bending things I've ever seen. Was drawn to the "ScarJo gets naked" angle but that's just a sideshow - as hard as that is to believe.

Can't figure out if it's a really bad good movie ("Eyes Wide Shut") or a really good bad movie ("Starship Troopers"). Maybe its just brilliant and I need to watch it again. Maybe it just sucks. Maybe I should Google image "ScarJo nude" and save the 2 hours.

Anybody seen it?

I liked it, but I'm in the minority here. I believe it wasn't too well received in the movie thread. I thought how they filmed it using people of the street was pretty unique.

I like it better this morning having thought about it than I did after I got done watching it last night.

Was a little like Gus Van Sant's "Gerry": not a whole lot going on, not much dialogue . . . but you can't turn it off. With the same post-viewing reaction.

i liked it. if you try not to take the movie literally, it is better. Many of the scenes are more figurative. if that makes sense.
oh, and scarlet johansen.

It did have a couple of very haunting scenes that I thought were very original and well shot, but I hoped for a little more from it after the festival reviews.
