Scarlett Johansson has touched virtually every genre, but there is one movie that should be considered her crowning achievement. Directed by Jonathan Glazer, the 2014 horror movie Under the Skin is more a work of art than simply content. In only 108 minutes, the sci-fi thriller achieves what few films have been able to. Lauded for its music, directing, and performances, the movie is a plot-lite exploration of the human condition. Johansson portrays a nameless protagonist, known only as the Female. As she traverses through Scotland, her motives become clearer, though it is up to the viewer to establish her ultimate goal. After stripping the body of a woman for her clothes, the Female drives a van through Scotland, speaking to men and asking for directions.
