  • No intellectual property, no superheroes, just an abiding love for moviemaking. That’s what you’ll find at A24. This company has made an indelible niche for itself in the entertainment industry: Their brand of cinema is unlike anything else, and they consistently release movies that are critically acclaimed and appreciated by movie lovers of all stripes. That also includes the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, who awarded the company Best Picture, in a tight field and a close call, for Moonlight, directed by Barry Jenkins.
    This video tribute to A24 will re-introduce you to their stellar stable of recent releases, and also calls out their particular brand of horror, often characterized by ecological and psychological threats-after seeing the trailer for Hereditary, starring Toni Collette, I thought it was worth mentioning the approach they take to scary movies. Enjoy, and please do yourself (and the movie industry) a favor and buy a ticket to see an A24 film as soon as possible.
    If you are now, like us, obsessed with all things A24, be sure to check out our videos and articles on some of their other amazing movies: “Lady Bird,” “A Ghost Story,” and “Good Time.”

    I love absolutely love and respect A24. They are getting behind such great work and filmmakers that they've almost singlehandedly restored my faith in serious western cinema.

      A24 is mainly distributing movies. They have only produced a few themselves.

    I like Philip's essays but this was really bad. It did not for once talk about their distribution model, how they choose their films. Instead it talked about things that should be included in the directors video essay. A24 did not have anything to do with the merits that he mentioned in the video.

    • @joeypropeller
      @joeypropeller 5 년 전 +10

      Agreed. How did an A24 "style" come about from so many different filmmakers? That's what I'd like to know.

    • @PyroNexus22
      @PyroNexus22 5 년 전 +12

      Yes, I'd rather hear about their work as a production company, than this silly attempt to attribute various directing and writing styles to a production company.

    • @PhilosopherJEB
      @PhilosopherJEB 5 년 전 +4

      Eh! I disagree.
      I think Fandor has a point - obviously, you guys are picking up on the fact that the filmmakers are the ones making the art - and you’re not wrong - but I think this essay hits on a good point.
      A24 films do have a certain “feel,” and that is unusual since Paramount and Fox etc... Essentially don’t have a feel.
      A24 is just big enough of a company to be selective and have a more curated collection of films from a particular set of filmmakers, almost more like the BBS production company in the 70’s...
      And, in my opinion, that’s worth applauding!

    • @kartikjain7105
      @kartikjain7105 5 년 전 +3

      Jonathan Bicker Something that u describe as "feel" is only created by a film maker. I have nothing against A24. But the points that are mentioned are Sorely due to the filmmaker. The video essay does not examine anything regarding what A24 is actually doing that is worth applauding. Sure A24 is worth applauding, but the video essay....
      It just feels like a promotional piece. What really saddens me is one of the best video essayist had his name attached to it.

    • @PyroNexus22
      @PyroNexus22 5 년 전 +2

      Jonathan Bicker
      I think, what you describe as this "feel" is only in the mind of the audience. Yes, they do pick a certain type of films for distribution, but I didn't see anything in common between, say, The VVitch and It Comes at Night. Except maybe for the fact, that they feel like 2010s films. But that's not exclusive to A24, and it's rather narrow-minded to imply so. Of course, Paramount and Fox don't have that feel, perhaps because they're from the previous century or because the majority of their films are big-budget blockbusters. Pick any average 2010s indi films and it's gonna feel like an A24 film.

  • @RudieObias
    @RudieObias 5 년 전 +44

    "A24 Is Killing It." Yeah, but not with general audiences. I watched THE WITCH, IT COMES AT NIGHT, EX-MACHINA, A GHOST STORY, UNDER THE SKIN, and HEREDITARY with general audiences in regular corporate movie theaters like AMC or Regal. And I could feel the people hating every minute of those movies. No one was happy they paid money to see them in theaters. I love A24, but regular, non-movie people, do not. Hell, I highly doubt the average person knows what A24 is.

    • @TheMastersuperblaste
      @TheMastersuperblaste 4 년 전 +5

      Much like the general population, general theater audiences are brain dead/brainwashed zombies with the attention span of a gnat and need to be spoonfed, told what to think/what to like and how to feel.

      It sucks cos I used to be one of those people who'd never heard of them. I used to just go out watch films n forget about them then my uncle made me watch good time and the Florida project( amazing a24 films btw) and it got me into loving cinema for the first time and this was when I was 14. I have massively expanded my knowledge of cinema like watching classic films for way before I was born to new genres of never bothered watching like westerns or dramas to even films from different markets. Cos of a24 and their amazing track record of amazing films I started to love cinema not just as entertainment but as some work of art and it's amazing to see original idea that have stunning cinematography like hereditary or slow west. I can remember more a24 films than general Hollywood shit but it sucks many people don't appreciate them as much they're one of the few companies left respecting how original films lead to great forms of media.

      My family has always been big movie watchers. We go to the movies at least once every 2 weeks and all of my siblings and I tried acting a few times. When I was 15 I started watching horror films and loved them. Last year my brother made me watch Hereditary. After that I couldn’t get enough of A24. I feel like I wasted 16 years of my life watching what I thought was good cinema. Now I understand that true art is in the smaller films like all A24 movies.

    As much as I love A24, you're giving them waaaay more credit, than they deserve. They're a pretty cool studio, but they didn't bring anything new to the horror genre, let's be fair. Ooh, horror without monsters, like that's never been made before. Reliance on oppressive atmosphere and portrayal of eerie and terrifying worlds? God. Check out Kiyoshi Kurosawa, maybe. I suggest starting with Cure, as it has all the features, that you attribute to A24's films. Oh and Ex Machina is not scary one bit.
    Tbh this video feels like it was made by one of those highbrow film buffs, who never cared about the horror genre, never seen many films in that genre, but who genuinely believed for all these years, that horror is a genre for entertainment, with no potential for art. Because, why else would you perceive A24's films as some sort of revelation, some kind of departure from traditional horror films? Yeah, the majority of horror films *are* garbage, I won't argue about that, but there's always been tons of great horror films for the audience to explore. And also, if you watch Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre or even Nightmare on Elm Street, and think it's about monsters, you don't understand shit about horror.

    A24 only does the distribution, the art behind these films comes from the Filmmakers minds, A24 just has a good eye as a distributor. It doesn’t produce or am i wrong?

    • @MicoDossun
      @MicoDossun 5 년 전 +2

      César Delgado I think there’s a few exceptions. For example I believe Trey Edward Shults was in a contract to make two movies for A24. I can’t say how frequently that is or the extent of what they do when they don’t just buy movies to distribute though.

  • @alexanderfeustel3500

    A24 is extremely overrated. They are a distributor for the most part and have only produced a few movies themselves. There are also several bad A24 movies, such as Woodshock for example.

    • @MicoDossun
      @MicoDossun 5 년 전

      Alexander Feustel as much as I love the great A24 movies no one tends to mention that A Glimpse Into The Mind Of Charles Swan III is absolutely horrible. Lately though A24 has two sets of movies. The ones they pick out and distribute themselves and the ones direcTV distributes through A24. Almost all the direcTV ones are bad
