captured by music

A good movie, after watching it, will collect relevant story background, details, and even music. The movie "Under The Skin" is so.

Micachu's soundtrack creates a dark, infinite, impermanent, and vast cosmic space background for the movie, and the earth is one of the stages, which is washed away in this cosmic space.

The music uses the empty infrasound as the background, and the chaotic notes are floating and dancing, like the disordered electromagnetic sound in the universe; the occasional drum beats are regular and profound, like the pulses from pulsars, like confusion, like guidance, and again. It's like trapping... And it's hidden in the dark, and it's gone...

This kind of music, which triggers the fear of uncertainty at the bottom of the subconscious, is the keynote in the movie world...

    ★, it's a pity that later we saw the twin peaks in which the sense of strangeness was infinitely extended: return.

    I watched it on and off on the train, but I was completely conquered by this cold and weird atmosphere. As for the meaning behind the reading, it is likely to be insufficient or excessive. The director may be willing to let the atmosphere bring various pleasures of misreading. Mica Levi's soundtrack is especially good, really like a femme fatale stroking her body like a massage girl to soothing yoga-like music, and then cutting you into pieces with sharp nails.
