Studio A24 has earned credibility with a string of highly successful films, made recognizable by what fans call ‘A24 vibes’ – their special brand of visual style, quirky tone, and creative expression. Just a decade ago, this small, indie studio took some big risks on unknown writer-directors that made a big impression. Today their films can rival tent-pole productions, with cinephiles keeping a keen eye on the A24 calendar.
This arthouse horror isn’t so much a story as a subversion. Its hypnotic score, composed by the brilliant Mica Levi, will haunt you. The film makes masterful usage of hidden cameras and a mostly inexperience cast to create a much more grounded and realism-focused experience that amplifies the dread and nightmares to unbelievable levels. The audiovisual experience that is Under the Skin is seductive and disturbing, a confusing kaleidoscope that needs to be seen to be believed, if not understood.
17 'A Most Violent Year' Directed by J.C. Chandor A Most Violent Year is a grossly underrated crime drama from director J. C. Chandor. Starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain as a competitive couple in the oil business, it's centered on what the characters are willing to do to get ahead in the industry. Taking place in 1981 New York City, the film follows the lives of Abel Morales and his family as they attempt to expand their family business and company.
15 'Priscilla' Directed by Sofia Coppola Especially after the monumental, award-winning success of Baz Luhrmann's Elvis the previous year, it would be easy to assume that Sofia Coppola's Priscilla would floor a similar, glamorous execution. While the film does follow the story and seemingly luxurious life of Priscilla Presley leading up to and throughout her love life with Elvis Presley, the film is far from glamorous in its interpretation of the proceedings.
Director Asif Kapadia’s documentary features many famous faces, including Tony Bennett, Yasiin Bey, Mark Ronson, Russell Brand, and Pete Doherty, as well as the two toxic male figures in her life, father Mitch Winehouse and husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Amy’s talent is overshadowed by a foreboding sense of doom. The fame-industrial complex takes its lumps as Amy’s voyeuristic tendencies complete an act of mourning.
11 'Swiss Army Man' Directed by Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan Before they would go on to direct the Best Picture-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once, directing duo Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan would show off their absurdly comedic style of filmmaking in Swiss Army Man. The film follows the story of Hank , who finds himself stranded on a deserted island, having completely given up hope of ever returning home.
