Explore the landmark cinema of fan-favorite studio A24!

Even hardcore film buffs don't care about what studio released the films they like. Why would they? How much difference is there between something released by Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, or Sony? The names of those studios are generally seen as just that: Names that show up before the film starts.

A24 is different. What makes their films stand out? What is that aesthetic that makes A24 the most recognizable brand in filmmaking since the heyday of Miramax or even Troma?

Starting with 2013's Spring Breakers, a creepy and trippy joy ride through the scuzzy underbelly of South Florida, A24 has consistently been responsible for some of the strangest and most daring films to hit screens. Too undefinable for mainstream audiences and too edgy or grotesque for many arthouse fans, A24 films have charted a very specific and unpredictable path in an industry increasingly marked by safe repeats of old formulas. This dedication to pushing the cinematic envelope has led to a growing subculture of fans, who eagerly await new releases, debate the merits of the back catalog, and even shell out big bucks for A24-branded merch.

The Films of A24 is a book for fans, as well as anyone interested in film as art, as entertainment, or simply an unforgettable experience. Inside, noted film critic Chris Barsanti covers the more than 200 films that A24 distributed in its first twelve years. Between these ravishingly designed covers, you'll find essays and capsule reviews detailing A24's bizarre, brutal and beautiful films, as well as the fascinating backstories and creators behind them:

- Oscar winners and nominees from Ex Machina and Amy to The Tragedy of Macbeth, The Brutalist, and Everything Everywhere All At Once
