Under The Skin (1997)

Synopsis:
One of the best movies I've seen in awhile... A very interesting film, with a brave, stunning, sexual performance by Samantha Morton.
The sexuality was real and intense, and her desperation as a woman spinning out of control was effective and touching...
I liked the "out there" eroticism aspect of the film. True eroticism is not portrayed well in movies anymore, at least not in the US...
And I liked the fact that the film was written and directed by a woman, Carine Adler. The scene where she has phone sex with her lover and tells him what she wants to do to him is stunning, only a woman could have written that! A man would have shied away from depicting a woman's sexuality in such a frank and aggressive manner.
