Movie Review: UNDER THE SKIN, based on Michel Faber's book of the same title

Bottom line: You're gunna luv it if you are a Jungian and interested in myth and the unconscious. If not, stay home unless you want to swallow the described plotline and see a creepy film.

Scarlett Johansson stars in Jonathan Glazer's adaptation of the book. It is a luxuriously slow moving film filled with anima figures, Sirens luring men to their deaths, Circe figures, the dark oceanic depths of the unconscious, and even a wounded Eurydice struggling and failing to emerge—and whatever else you choose to project onto the darkly appealing apparition of the Johansson character, half dominatrix and half victim, a femme fatale from the dead. Set in Scotland, the noir landscapes and seascapes are worth the price of admission. This is not the standard summary of the movie, but I'm just sayin'.
