MUBI (Criterion-affiliated streaming classic, foreign, independent movie site) - c/d, comments, recommendations, etc.

You mean this?

Heh, no. Picture in Picture.

CAIRO CONSPIRACY had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Guess I should watch his other one, THE NILE HILTON INCIDENT

really! It didn't look of much interest. You recommend?

Yeah, but's it's kind of up my alley, not yours I don't think. Middle Eastern things shot in other countries. See also HOLY SPIDER and Apple TV+'s TEHRAN (the first season anyway).

hm, yeah i dunno. i should deffo watch holy spider.

Holy Spider is very good indeed.

Forks, you passed on HOLY SPIDER earlier when you had the chance iirc

not so much passed, still have it on plex. just gettin in where its fittin in!

So, um, MUBI GO is starting to be a premium and the number of screenings this week is kind of limited. I think I may still keep it though.

From the current crop of Leaving In 3 Days I think my first pick for myself might be THE APPLE, by Samira Makhmalbaf.

It's a great film.

Thanks. Started.

i paid for the yearly mubi go so i should be okay through next year.
don't think i have the interest/stomach/self-hatred to see irreversible straight cut tho'.

Ha! Same pretty much. Did you go to last week's offering?

i actually got a membership at IFC and have been hitting it pretty hard. Gonna be going to a few of these this week:

seen at IFC in the past week: Baby Ruby, Godland, House Made of Splinters, I'm Thinking About Ending Things

Hmm.

three of em were good!

Is that membership expensive?

I feel like I should restart my Film Forum membership at some point.

Man MUBI is pushing this week's film almost as hard as DECISION TO LEAVE.

it's not cheap but it amortizes quickly if you get good use out of it

I gather you are a Cineaste?

May I say that the non-parallelism of the Carpenters t-shirt on sale at the concession kind of bothers me?

I'm a mogul. And I own that Carpenters shirt!

Note to self: All the Satyajit Ray's expiring from MUBI at midnight PST are on Criterion. Some that already expired are nowhere to be found in legit streaming.

Took them up on their recommendation to watch MODERN ROMANCE on Valentine's Day and didn't regret it.

Rewatched Ali: Fear Eats the Soul on Mubi last night and that was a perfect VD choice.

mubiusa Today is your last chance to see IRREVERSIBLE - STRAIGHT CUT (Gaspar Noé, 2023) in theaters, free with MUBI GO at the link in our bio.

Sorry, mubiusa and MUBI GO, think I will pass on this, although the video of Monica B dancing in the shiny gold dress is nice.

yeah zero desire to ever watch that movie again

it's fucking wretched. Whatever's Noe's parents spent on the private Catholic school he went to didn't help whatsoever in his development.

i'm okay skipping it based on what i know of it and the last three posts help reinforce that impulse.
I would like to see Pacifiction but it's a busy week and THREE HOURS dude c'mon

Same

three hours starting at 730 in the upper east side no less

Did they relocate the Walter Reade Theater to the Upper East Side?

Trying to make the 1PM show. Wish me luck!

why did i say upper east? "upper west"
lemme know if it's worth the trek!

Just got out into the light. My eyes are still adjusting.

Verdict: worth the trek

score!

Feel like for the ones that are longer and at inconvenient times weekends are best if possible.

Anyway the vibe, the aura and the look of this are incredible and there are a couple of amazing performances.

Picture in Picture starting working again when I updated my iOS.

now in UK and Irish cinemas. Streaming exclusively from June 16 in the UK, Ireland, Turkey and India. A MUBI Release.

Finally watched WIFE OF A SPY. Really good.

This week’s MUBI GO selection, wow.

Robinson in Space is sort of glumly magical ... and REAL. great stuff

I keep watching this trio of Patrick Keiller docs: Robinson in Ruins/in Space and London (Ruins narrated by Vanessa Redgrave). I still have little idea who Robinson was, but I like him a lot.
