I was bored the other day and fancied a film, so checked out The Guardian list of the best 100 films since 2000. I'd seen most of them, and liked a lot of them, but the one that caught my eye was, 'Under the Skin.' A 2014 film that I kinda remember being aware of yet no doubt was put off by the sci fi elements. Anyway, I had some time to kill before the match tonight so I streamed it and was absolutely blown away. Don't expect plot, don't expect much action, but the imagery is insanely captivating. It's so gorgeous and so erotic, undoubtedly helped by Scarlett Johanson taking the lead role. I tend to enjoy films the most that get their strength from verbal interactions, I was completely bored by Tarkovsky and all those arty films once so trendy, but this one really got into me and I can tell I will ruminate on it for some time to come.
