Under the Skin (1997)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: col 83m
Director: Carine Adler
Cast: Samantha Morton, Claire Rushbrook, Rita Tushingham, Stuart Townsend

Synopsis:

Two daughters, rivals in their mother's affection, respond differingly to her sudden death from a brain tumour.

Review:

Other films have dealt with sibling mistrust and bereavement; what singles this one out are the narrative lurches over quite a short timespan and the Dogme-like direction, which underline its principal character's out-of-joint psyche and reckless sexual behaviour. Well acted and definitely one for Psychology students.
