A24 has had one of the best years of 2014 with many films that could obtain Oscar nominations. One of those films is "Under the Skin," the critically-acclaimed science fiction feature, starring Scarlett Johansson, by Jonathan Glazer.
On July 15, a number of films from the popular animated film "Rio 2" to "Avengers 2" and "Lucy" star Scarlett Johansson's "Under the Skin" will be released on DVD, and film-goers will be able to catch up with features they missed in theaters. Here are the selections to choose from.
The 2014 Oscar season does not officially start until September when the Toronto and Venice Film Festivals open. However, the year has already brought a number of critically and box office successes that are already being pinned down as Oscar contenders.
The trailer for French director Luc Besson's 'Lucy' hit the web earlier this week featuring Scarlett Johansson as a forced drug mule turned super heroine.
Ultimately "Under the Skin" is a highly intricate experimental narrative from a visionary filmmaker with one of the best performances in recent memory by Scarlett Johansson.
