Vans and Motorcycles

Under the Skin (2013)

Not only did these directors choose vans and motorcycles to grace the screen, but they also made use of quiet moments and unique filmmaking styles. Bask in the art-house fare.

Under the Skin (2013) is directed by Jonathan Glazer, and stars Scarlett Johansson. Viewers are privileged to ride along with the alien, while objectively witnessing what transpires in her journeys. Many scenes were shot covertly with real crowds and clueless pedestrians. Everything comes together to make Under the Skin a memorable movie and a true directorial achievement.

The Brown Bunny (2003)

The Brown Bunny (2003) is directed by Vincent Gallo, who also stars along with Chloë Sevigny. Here is a quintessential road movie, where buried feelings fight to surface on their own terms. The Brown Bunny has a vintage feel, but remains totally original. Know that you will be of the lion’s share if you absolutely despise The Brown Bunny.
