UNDER THE SKIN 2025
Screens of Matter invites you to be submerged in the dark, enticing world of Jonathan Glazer. Supported by an incredible soundtrack composed by Mica Levi and an unsettling performance by Scarlett Johansson.
Based on the novel by Michel Faber, Scarlett Johansson's nameless creature pillages the clothes of a dead woman and drives the streets of Scotland in search of men to lure into her van. She seduces them with small talk and leads them to a house, seemingly to have intercourse, but they end up meeting a much stranger fate.
