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

Wenders is ok sometimes but that stuff comes around again and again. The Sang-soo retro is really useful because you hardly get a film of his on a good run.

Having said that I should watch Paris Texas actually.

price gone up on this recently? swear it used to be £60 pa or £8 pcm payg

scribd comes with mubi now? glad i tried out the annual free month again.

that is, you subscribe (or get a free month) to scribd and they give you mubi for free.

I enjoyed the oddly retitled and sweetly mannered "Microhabitat" which just got on the roster so should be there for a bit

kinda thinking i will give these kazuhiro soda films a try too

Only seen Inland Sea, but it's pretty great! Jealous it's not on in Denmark, I would try and see them all.

Really dug this Mathieu Amalric film I just watched.

Has anyone checked out Ovid? Collective of small distributors banded together to start a streaming site of their own, it looks like they might be using the same back end as Mubi?

Amazing doc collection!

Looks great

I'm really looking forward to this - timed to coincide with the 29th anniversary of Tsoi's death.

Excellent. Think this was playing at the ICA last week.

!!!!!!!!!

More Tsoi!

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I thought Leto was a bit so so. The story is fascinating, and I like the mood, but... I think Serebrennikov might just not be such a great filmmaker.

The Needle is pretty good though. And Assa, if they show that as well. That's a crazy film :)

Apparantly, Infinite Football is on there in many territories. Not Denmark. But if it's available, I do recommend it. Best film of 2018, imo.

The Romanian movie? Saw that there, looking forward and to watching, thanks for the recommendation.

now has a constant library. with a lot of lav diaz.

All I see is Night Tide with Dennis Hopper.

Holy fuck.

Oh on the desktop, but not the app.

coming soon apparently

Did you get some kind of notification? I didn't.

I got an email, stating:

«Our LIBRARY is now open.
Today, we open our LIBRARY. A huge, brand new section of MUBI. Full of hundreds of incredible films.

Films you missed the first time we picked them.
Films you can discover all over again.
Films you never even knew existed.

From MUBI specials and retrospectives, to our double-bills and other exclusives.
All hand-picked by us. As always.

LIBRARY is included with a MUBI membership. You can explore right now, on our website. And very soon on our Apple and Android apps.»

Hm. The last email I got from MUBI was about The Last Laugh.

I’m in Europe btw

Right, was wondering about that. Still, I can see some kind of library on my desktop.

xpost
Think USA MUBI differs quite a bit from EURO MUBI

Glad to have a chance to catch-up with some things I missed - some of the Diaz, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, High Life, Bacurau, Jonas Mekas, The Wonders etc

If people haven't seen Serra's Story of My Death, that gets my highest recommendation fwiw

yeah this library helps a lot. Ryuichi Sakamoto's Coda is one of the best things I saw last year.

Okay, the email came about a half hour ago.

When this comes to the app I will be all over it

I did notice that they are charging an additional £2.49 per film for some of the titles in the library - and they have nothing from the Straub-Huillet season (although that appears to have restarted - their Antigone is currently up)

And the announcement is showing up on social media now, ICYMI.

Really want to dig into the Spotlight on India section of the library

Just want to be Ble tomwatch the library section on my TV!

Able to watch, even

Thought was some kind of failed attempt at Create a Super-ILXer!

Hi. Not coming back, just a quick question for work: I can see the Danish film Giraffe is on Mubi in the UK, but I can't figure out if it's on in the US as well. Anyone who can check for me? Also, do watch Giraffe, it was my favorite Danish film of 2019

seems to be on mubi in canada so most likely the states as well, though someone else would have to confirm

I don't subscribe, but it looks like it's there.

https://mubi.com/films/giraffe-2019

PUT THE FUCKING LIBRARY ON THE TV APP FOR FUCK'S SAKE

hope you come back at some point to the film threads Fred

Yes, I'm a Mubi subscriber in the US and I can watch Giraffe. Should I?

it was my favorite Danish film of 2019

D'oh. Missed this – you already answered that question.

otm

also send us email updates when things are added to the library (if they ever are...)

it's been on the TV app, mine anyway, for a few weeks.

WHAT

Not the fire tv app last I looked

It's fire I'm using.

Sounds like the US is getting the shitty end of the stick.

Maybe you have to reinstall the app.
