I would say that even though Mubi is awesome, watching hardcore art house films all the time can get tiring and Netflix has a lot more relaxed content.

If you want to give it a try though, this is my referral link, you can get a free month.

Wendy and Lucy (2007)

A girl with her dog is heading to Alaska and the car breaks down and the story starts there.

Solid little story with Michelle Williams in lead role.

Hope that helps

Hey y'all, just got back into Mubi after a pretty long hiatus. Glad to see that the site has been thriving over the past couple years.
I've just started moving everything from IMDB into Mubi, you can check it out here.
Would love to connect with some of y'all get some new recommendations.

Pretty busy with work travel right now, so I haven't gotten around to watching Junun, sadly.

I did manage to finish The Island before it expired on /u/ChampionSleeper's recommendation, and I enjoyed it. Beautiful cinematography and a quiet story of a religious man trying to atone for a horrible thing he did during the war. I did wonder about the advice he gave out to others who came to the island to seek his blessing, though. If anyone else watched it, do you think he really had some sort of special spiritual insight, or was he just making stuff up? I can't help but think the latter, and it made me feel like his irresponsibly used their trust.

Cool idea for a thread! I'm just trying out mubi for my first month. Recently I watched The Island and Gangs of Wasseypur Part I. I like the Island quite a bit. It's definitely odd and slow, but it's gorgeous and the main character is constantly entertaining. Gangs of Wassey. was great. I'm a sucker for gangster movies and this one was from a culture I hadn't seen before. I only regret not getting a chance to see Part 2.

I'm in the middle of Raja right now, but can't finish it yet (see below). Pretty good with great characters so far.

On a side note, I've been having increasing problems trying to watch anything. I'm now getting a network error on ~80% of the titles. Has anyone else had trouble with this? I can't find anything in the support section and haven't heard back from the support people. Doesn't seem to make a difference which device (PC or Android) or browser I use.

Basically my comment from last week is still current. I'll probably finish The Day He Arrives this week. Would have finished it yesterday, but sportsball occupied my day :/

It's on the FlixLatino channel via Prime Video on Amazon. However, I think you need to have a Prime Membership on Amazon in order to use the (free trial then $2.99 a month) FlixLatino channel.

In order to find it there I had to look for "La libertad del diablo" -- it doesn't come up at all on Amazon when searching by the English title. Here's a direct link.

I've been using ExpressVPN so far and it works great for any country. Oddly enough, if you look at their Instagram posts announcing new movie releases, they seem to have an extensive selection of titles in Turkey and India. It's because of the broadcasting rights. I made a video showing the steps to unblock movies on MUBI using EV:

• I live in the EU and many alternatives for cinema enthusiasts are not available here
• Highly curated content
• The one film per day model makes it easy to focus on the daily additions instead of being overwhelmed with a flood of content
• The MUBI notebook is a nifty feature and it often works well in tandem with the programming
• I believe that MUBI has a trial period available so you might want to check that the streaming quality is good enough in your region. In the past they had some buffering challenges in some regions.

Fairly new to Mubi but I enjoy it when I wanna sit down and be serious about cinema. Because mine all fit on one screen and typing sucks...here's a link: https://mubi.com/users/11890931

Lemme know if you seen these and/or have any recommendations on Mubi based on my collection.

https://mubi.com/films/beauty-and-the-dogs is already streaming in 4K, but I can't see the point when the audio quality is stuck in the 90's with low bit-rate artifact riddled audio.

Saw Énorme yesterday. I remember it was in top 10 of Cahiers du Cinema of 2020, it was the typical risky French choice since it's described as a comedy about a man making his wife pregnant without her consent. Played as a comedy? For some reason it actually has a Lanthimos' flair the way it's filmed and acted. Last half hour it suddenly becomes very educational about pregnancy and also I know for sure again I never want kids. Fun rec.\

https://mubi.com/films you can sort by genre, director etc. however, the catalogue on mubi is much bigger than the library, but the available films have play buttons.

i feel like they rolled out the library quickly without properly integrating it with the existing system.

It looks like every country is different, and that there is some overlap on the licensed streaming. I have no idea how they can keep up with the licenses and curation for every country, but they have three people working whole job title is "Database Editor" (at https://mubi.com/team), so I guess that would do it.

I wish they had a comment section on every film though, even something as simple as the Youtube comment section. I often want to talk about a film there that I liked and have no platform to talk about it on.

Yay, I finally watched something! I watched David O. Russell's Flirting With Disaster, and I thought it was great. Lots of dysfunctional characters/relationships in entertaining situations. I started watching Laura Poitras's My Country, My Country and hope to get through both of her documentaries before they expire.

So I ripped my old DVD of <em>Being John Malkovich</em> and then watched it on the Chromecast last night. Now that is a weird film. I'd forgotten quite how weird. (By the way Cameron Diaz looks entirely unlike Cameron Diaz in that: it's quiet scary!)

But on balance I think preferred <em>Adaption.</em>. Hard to put my finger on why though and they're both great movies.

Well it doesn't come more mainstream than <em>Mission: Impossible</em> but we had that on Mubi UK until yesterday. Perhaps the people deciding what goes on the US list are a bit more picky?

So, just watched <em>Mission: Impossible</em> as I was running out of time for that one. On the positive side it's a jolly romp, and it does have Jean Remo in, which is always good news in my opinion (see also <em>Ronin</em> ... which I see has been on Mubi in the past).

On the negative side the final action scene stretches the suspension of disbelief - which has been vital already - beyond breaking point.

Oh and the blurring of Internet and Usenet is hilarious: all those lovely newsgroups. Take me back!

So today's new film in the UK was <em>Adaption.</em> which I've just finished, having watched the first ten minutes this morning. A great film. It does take a slightly surreal turn towards the end (not that it hasn't been a little bit that way all the way through with Nicholas Cage playing both Charlie Kaufman and his twin brother) but I liked it. A lot.

Having done a quick search on this sub I can't see any mention of Adaption. here so I guess you've not had it in the past. Perhaps you're getting it today too? If you are then I think you'll enjoy it.

Okay, I started watching The Day He Arrives (Hong Sang-Soo). I've seen one other film by this director and didn't care for it much. I'm liking this one a little more, it's one of those black & white, trying to be French New Wave films. I don't love the main character, but at least I don't hate him yet, so I'll keep watching.

We've been getting a lot of Asian stuff lately, a big focus on Tsai Ming-Liang and now more Chinese films from Cinema on the Edge. I like the idea of Tsai Ming-Liang, but it's hard for me to bring myself to see another one of his films after watching Stray Dogs at a film festival a few years ago. People LOVE his stuff, so I decided to play the first few minutes of the film again to see if I had judged too harshly the first time. First five minutes: woman brushes hair, children roll around in bed. I can take slow and beautiful, but this pushes my patience past the breaking point.

Was late with this one, sorry about that! I was on vacation and greatly overestimated my access to high speed internet.

I finished watching Syndromes and a Century, and I dunno... I guess I was expecting more. There were beautiful moments, and it certainly was quiet and meditative, but I wanted to be more moved by the film, not just to feel like a distant observer. US Mubi has featured a number of Apichatpong Weerasethakul films in the past few weeks, and I'm hoping to catch one more before the expiration date.

While on vacation, I opened up my Mubi app, ready to watch one of my downloaded films, and I was surprised to find that the movie list looked totally different... cuz I was in Canada! And I still had a few days to watch Dark Horse before it expired! I loved the main characters -- Daniel, Franc, and Grandpa -- and I was rooting for all of them to find happiness. Thanks for the recommendation, /u/bhanguson!

Hi there, same here, I want to subscribe to Mubi but residing in Kenya, I am afraid content will be highly filtered and disappointed.

1. Is Mubi available internationally, even Kenya?

2. Is Mubi fine with subscribed users using VPN, specifically NordVPN

Thanks
