Every once in a while, I catch a film that actually blows me away.
Last night I watched Under The Skin by Jonathan Glazer. Now, I love Jonathan Glazer and have long admired his work, in particular his music videos for various bands throughout the 1990's.
This film couldn't have been made by anyone else. It was quintessentially Glazer.
Odd, strange, twisting, thought provoking and mysterious but with a cinematic detail and artistry that is rarely seen in modern mainstream cinema.
There was a brilliant use of metaphor running parallel to a beautiful use of colour and symbolism which made you well aware you were watching a moving artwork rather than just a film. The overall theme and message which ran throughout was huge in both scope, relevance and impact.
Brilliant. Faith restored in film for another few months. :)
