The annual Venice Film Festival is about to kick off in Italy's floating city, and ten years ago, the Venice Film Festival starring "Widow" Scarlett Johansson's sci-fi film "Under the Skin" premiered at that festival and competed for the main competition unit.
However, the premiere of the film shocked everyone, and even Scarlett Johansson burst into tears. So what exactly happened? Alberto Barbera, then artistic director of the Venice Film Festival, claimed in a recent interview that "Under the Skin" was the worst film premiere he had ever attended, and it was the only film that booed the audience.
Faced with a tearful "widow sister", the artistic director tried to comfort Scarlett Johansson, telling her that the film would eventually be recognized by the audience. However, after leaving the Venice Film Festival, the performance of "Under the Skin" on the screen was still disastrous, and the film only managed to grossly $7 million worldwide, while the production cost was as high as $13 million. The sexy and beautiful Scarlett Johansson also could not save the film's box office and word of mouth.
However, the film was nominated for Best Film at several film festivals that year, and the London Film Festival even named it the best British Film of the Year, the British "Guardian" named it the fourth best film since 2000, and even occupied a place in the British film magazine "Image and Sound" in the best film history (its own film boast).
"Under the Skin" as an independent film does not have many big-name actors, and Scarlett Johansson is the only big-name actor in this movie and the biggest highlight. Strictly speaking, the concept of this "Under the Skin" is a little ahead of time, and the audience is also very dissatisfied with the widow sister's paralyzed performance in addition to complaining about the plot, but IMHO, let me watch the widow sister take off her clothes and face expressionless for two hours, I am also happy to watch, of course, provided that I will not become the object of her hunting.
In the end, it doesn't really matter what is under the woman's skin bag, because this skin bag cannot get rid of the joys, angers and sorrows of human beings after all, and at the same time face the truth, goodness and ugliness from the human world. And Scarlett Johansson interprets all emotions with her delicate, quiet and "expressionless" performance.
