Director Jonathan Glazer is getting major Oscar buzz for his current release, The Zone of Interest. But his previous project was this moody, almost experimental sci-fi tale about an alien who assumes the form of a woman and prowls for male victims as a way of learning about the human race. Released as Scarlett Johansson’s Avengers fame was ramping up, it shows her range and is still one of her eeriest, most intuitive performances.
