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

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.

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.

It is on us amazon last i looked

Oh -- I thought you meant Criterion for some reason

library showing on my (samsung) TV app now too. hallelujah

So much good stuff in that library. I see Alain Tanner’s first film just popped up.

Why don't I have the full library? Is this an Apple TV thing?

How do you know you don't have the full library?

how do you know when stuff has been added to the library?

There is a Recently Added category

Fifth from the bottom.

not fifth from the bottom on my page

here's a link though

How do you know you don't have the full library?

I can only see the Now Showing selection on my screen. No different sections, no full library. But I see that some people have suggested re-installing the app, so I'll try that.

Yeah, I only have the 30 time-limited ones on my app, too (LG smart TV)--not yet got the library included.

We reinstalled the app and now we have everything. So many films I will continue to intend to watch but never actually watch.

Oh really I am going to try this.

Do they have Antonio Das Mortes available on it btw?

"This film is not currently playing on MUBI but 30 other great films are. See what’s NOW SHOWING"

I was thinking it might be on this library thing. I watch 7-10 every 30 days.

Not as far as I can tell. I don't really understand the platform or the interface TBH.

I understand the platform just not how you access the library.

In our case, on the Apple TV, we access the library through the pull-down menu at the top of the screen. Where you'd normally find info and subtitles and stuff.

do you get the full mubi offering (including library) via amazon prime video?

looks like you maybe do?

amazon prime is £8 pcm and has a bunch of other benefits, mubi is £10 pcm... what am I missing, beyond amazon being xunts of course

i thought Prime just allowed you to buy a Mubi subscription as an add-on?

yeah i mean they are comically, deliberately, crookedly terrible at telling you what you get for your money but £8 pcm gets your basic Prime Video i think which is basically shit for movies, and then you'd have to pay for a Mubi subscription which you can watch "thru" Prime for some reason

That's how I understand it too.

So you can get Mubi for £7.99 per month via Amazon (rather than £9.99 directly), but you have to have Amazon Prime to do so, which is £7.99 a month itself.

I don't know if the full library is available if you go via Amazon.

ahhhh... thanks. was quite unclear from my cursory 15 minutes of googling

The advantage of having something else other than Mubi is the search function, as far as we can tell. The Mubi interface (on our TV, anyway, I don't know about the web interface) has no search. We have to use the Apple TV's own search to search rather than browse.

I get mubi through my scribd subscription, which is $5/month.

Wow - that does seem like a great loophole, though Scribd seems to cost new subscribers $10 a month. Is Scribd itself good?

I mainly use it for audiobooks. Be warned that it's not actually unlimited -- if I listen to around 3 audiobooks within a month, they lock me out of most audiobooks for the rest of the month.

I threatened to cancel once and they reduced my price permanently.

Ah - that's something Mubi too, with some ridiculous "OK, we blinked first" message when you hit cancel.

The Library seems like a larger selection, rather than the full set of films being available (that would probably be suicide lol).

Anyway, Llanas' Extraordinary Stories is there and I'm going in this week.
