Under the Skin |
Carine Adler / UK / 1997 / 85mins
/ Samantha Morton, Claire Rushbrook, Rita Tushingham |
Iris (Morton) is devastated by her mother's death and releases herself from all security to plunge into a life of promiscuity and danger. A dynamic and mesmerising drama which is at once moving, disturbing and ultra-stylish. Winner of the Best Director Award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Carine Adler's debut shows the depth of talent in the UK's current cinematic renaissance and is a must-see if you're interested in contemporary British film.
