However, serious cinephiles will be enraptured by the film's bizarre cinematographic beauty, deeper symbolic meaning and recall films by hallowed directors like Stanley Kubrick or David Lynch. Many audiences may just dismiss this as a fruitless waste of 100 minutes, since on paper, the plot seems to be simple enough for a single "X-Files" episode. The thick Scottish accents may be unintelligible. It is said that to be realistic, the film makers shot Johansson picking up real men off the street (not actors) and interviewed them without a script as they were driving around. The techniques are unmistakably art-house, with long stretches of silence, of Johansson just driving around, of random people just going about their daily routines. Despite the presence of a big name star Scarlett Johansson, this is not a mainstream film. However, as this woman encounters more men, she will also realize and discover new things about herself. She will seduce them into coming with her and they follow her into her black void of a house. She strikes up conversations with various men she picks up along the way. When we see a nude Scarlett Johansson for the first time in that pristine white room, we definitely know we are in for a different sort of ride. From the beginning shot of this film depicting lights and eclipses, we will already see that this will not be just another run-of-the-mill motion picture.
