A mysterious seductress preys upon the population of Scotland.
Adapted from Michael Faber's novel of the same name, Under the Skin has undergone a decade-long transition from page to screen, with performances heightened in the finished film by Glazer's singular decision to shoot many of Johansson's scenes as unscripted conversations with non-actors, using hidden cameras. Johansson's revealing performance excitingly displays a further willingness to not only bare her own skin, but to deviate from convention as her character battles with burgeoning emotions in a world filled with feeling. Unsure as to why she acts the way she does, the conflicted emotion she gradually feels for her victims endangers her own existence.
