Under The Skin (2014)

In screenwriting classes you're taught that the first fifteen pages are very important. This is where you set up your world. You let your audience know what the rules are and what to expect from the rest of the film. The same is true of a film's visual and aural aesthetics. By beginning this film with zero dialogue, director Jonathan Glazer is conditioning his audience to rely on their inborn ability to comprehend visual and aural cues rather than falling back on the old crutch of having to spoon-feed them everything through clunky dialogue. But don't worry, if you're really watching this film you will absolutely, "get it". Sure you may have some questions, but questions are good. Talk about them with a friend. The best films are the ones worth talking about and I plan on talking about this one for quite some time.
