General Dog posted:It's supposed to be weird that everybody who meets Elle Fanning is so enraptured with her, right? I know beauty is subjective, but it's hard for me to look at her, and look at everyone else in the movie and think "this girl is objectively next-level, otherworldly beautiful". I don't think I'm meant to. So what is it that they see in her? Is she really just fresh meat? Its literally that she is an underage virgin. Everyone can smell it on her.

Anal Surgery posted:edit: Question about the last 20 minutes of the film: Ruby's last scene in the film is basically her submitting herself to the Moon (wisdom, the divine feminine, whatever) and then she spreads her legs and is... giving birth? Menstruating? I know Moon and Menses are a theme but what did you all take that scene to signify/imply/evoke? Renewal. Menstruation is not just generative but regenerative as well.

If that's the case, what would you be doing at Cannes?

A True Jar Jar Fan posted:Christina Hendricks' character seems to have more power than anyone else, but she's kind of a non-entity outside of her one scene. I think her character looms over the film as its only mother figure.

I thought they did a phenomenal job of picking three girls with the same basic look that look completely different.

A True Jar Jar Fan posted:Predators are everywhere, Ruby is a superior predator (and has a stuffed mountain lion in her house), Jessie learns a lesson about keeping her door locked to keep a predator out. Mountain lion/spirit animal helps save her from Keanu while missing the real threat. There's more to go into there but that's fine on the surface. It's also one of those things that Refn is really good at, obliquely implying backstory, like the part where Jessie puts her face to the wall to listen in on what's going on next door.

King Vidiot posted:I liked what they did with Under the Skin, but I read the book prior to the movie and I also kind of still want a straightforward narrative movie based on the text of the book. Because it's good sci-fi drama. I like what they did with the movie, in the book, Isserly is more at home in the UK because where she comes from she's already this dreary civil servant.

General Dog posted:Is Ruby fantasizing about Jesse while she fucks a corpse, or is Jesse fantasizing about Ruby loving a corpse? I think either is possible, or maybe both. Jesse puts her face to the wall and hears Ruby loving a corpse.
