Under The Skin (2013)
A24 is born.
Presentation:
Scarlett Johansson plays her most extreme character in a mysterious and visually shocking film back when A24 was not established. They really gambled on indie films illustrating what A24 is really all about. Strange, hypnotic, art house delivering a chillingly bleak mysterious woman seducing men in this shadowy nightmare.
Conclusion:
A very weird and avant garde film with visuals that will still shock you a decade later. Were it not for the success of this film, A24 might be not exist today. Be ready as this film could can bring you to a disturbing place, or you'll simply stop watching mid movie.
