Episode description
Lee is joined by author Maureen Foster to breakdown 'Under The Skin' which is the focus of her acclaimed book 'Alien in the Mirror: Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Glazer and Under the Skin'.
This is the first book to be written about the movie, revisiting the film scene-by-scene. It features extensive interviews detailing the challenges the filmmakers faced--from hidden filming on the streets of Glasgow to defying a blizzard in the Scottish Highlands. Foster also looks at the original novel from Michel Faber about an extraterrestrial who, manifesting in human form, drives around the Scottish countryside picking up male hitchhikers whom she drugs and delivers to her home planet.
