The film has not yet been released and has received rave reviews. Many film critics praised it as a new visual pioneer. Peter Bradshaw, a bad critic of The Guardian, gave five stars, and PETER TRAVERS from Rolling Stone gave four and a half stars. The former described this film as "very freaky, very scary and very erotic". It is very weird, very scary and very erotic. The latter said "Visionary inventiveness is such a lost art in contemporary cinema that impatient audiences may bolt for the exits at Under the Skin." You may feel electric shock when you are under the skin.
I don't think the movie is very pornographic, the young Scottish youth is too ugly, and Scarlett is a bit old. I didn't even notice the electric shock, the screen went very slowly, and the electric shock became a slow, weak current. It didn't feel very scary. On the contrary, I was dumbfounded by the Scottish accent. The mountainous feeling really made me lose my sense of fear. It's like letting more than a dozen Zhao Benshan appear as passers-by in Hitchcock's movie, do you still feel horrible?
In the last scene of the movie, the Scottish lumberjack who wanted to rape a female alien, when he discovered that the other person was not a normal person, he ran away in a hurry, but after a few minutes he actually took a barrel of gasoline and ran back to burn her. This is so talented for comedy. How can real human beings be brave and calm when encountering aliens? What should I do if forest fires are caused by handling them so quickly?
However, the combination of plot, face painting, and sound effects of the movie does have a strange sense of absurdity. The scenery of the highland mountain village is incompatible with the noisy city, the disgusting intercourse of hormonal street youths contrasts sharply with Scarlett’s white buttocks, the endless night and the red lips of aliens, the constant ringing vinyl quilt The effect of the smashing sound of needles blending with cars and trucks connects the huge atmosphere of death with the absurd alien creatures. The aliens only kill the marginal ones, but the aliens cannot bear to kill the loneliest.
Jonathan Glazer was born as a music video. The movie is like a huge MTV. The combination of noise and picture reaches its peak when aliens undress and draw people into the black spring. As for whether it is a visual avant-garde, I think that with the enthusiastic participation of the Scottish people, it should be classified as a B-class cult. In fact, the classification is not important. i The audience now knows what they want to see, and most of them understand what the director wants to do. This film is a new experience of sight and hearing. In the end, the alien is still a black-painted Hollywood actress.
