Just watched Under the Skin http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1441395/
- it’s what happens when a music video director gets to make a ‘science fiction’
feature film. There are some extra-ordinary moments - images and sequences that
stay with you - specifically the walking backwards sinking sequence, the
overlapping movements of people and the peeling skin in the forest but as a
feature film it lacks .......something. The extras reveal an interesting
sequence of images around the design of the poster. 2 days in the North working on hanging the
show and assessment for the first cohort was a lot of serious fun. Sheffield
was a shock - large significant buildings within the centre were boarded up,
including a huge market space, although giant (slightly out of proportion)
fountains/falling water construction outside the station was a bold attempt at
a renewed civic pride thing.
