MUBI

Under the skin – Glazer – 2013
Profoundly weird and intriguing, right from the beginning. The guy with the facial deformity in the middle just adds to the deep strangeness, as well as the incongruity of Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson driving around Scotland in a white van picking up guys. Loses its way a little in the Highlands, a little like Scarlett, but still absolutely unique. One of the strangest things I have ever seen.

:):):)

Old Joy – Reichart – 2008
No idea what the point of this film is. It is very short, yet still feels slow. There is obviously an issue between the two men, but it is never made explicit. Some nice shots of Oregon countryside soon get old. A tiny, tiny story that is so slight it feels like it might blow away. An almost completely empty hour and ten minutes.

Two days in Paris – Delpy – 2007
Charming and funny at times, the real problem with this film is that the central couple are obviously a bad fit and it is hard to care what happens to them. Neurotic and self-obsessed, they obviously make each other unhappy. Split up, stay together – who cares? There are some amusing American-in-Paris set pieces, but it is impossible to care about Jack and Marion.

:):)

Kala Azar – Rafa – 2020
There is nothing post-apocalyptic about this film, despite the description on MUBI. In fact, there is almost nothing interesting about this film at all; it is incredibly static and flat, little dialogue, no action, no real themes or ideas of any sort. Hard to see how a decision was made to actually go ahead and make this film – why does it exist? Almost completely pointless.

I actually watched "Under the Skin" only a few months ago, but like yourself, I found it profoundly weird, unique & difficult to connect with. So I'm glad it's arrived on Mubi, because I think it may be one those movies that requires a rewatch, which I will do so in the coming days.

Good description!

fisgon · 29-06-2021 8:14pm

A week of American Indies, of varying quality. Especially liked John Waters' crazy offering...

Shiva Baby - Seligman - 2020
It starts off interesting, all set in a Jewish wake in NY city, but it gets repetitive and a little annoying. The story drags and doesn’t really develop, Danielle just gets more and more unbalanced and childish. The self-conscious Jewishness – “Bubbalah” this, “fakakta” that – is both charming and little overdone. Most characters are just annoying. A weird, at times tiresome mix.

:)

Piercing – Pesce - 2018
Curious, intriguing, table-turning weirdness, though the characters lack depth. Stylish and dark, though a little insubstantial.

:):)

Pvt Chat – Hozie – 2020
Not entirely sure how we got to the situation at the end, but the journey there is an intriguing one. Ne’er do wells, cam girls, hipsters, people on the edge of the margins in Brooklyn, NY, a guy who seems to make a living playing games of chance online while living in a semi-hovel and indulging his fantasies on a cam site. Urban alienation, the difficulty of connection, some quite explicit scenes. A curious mix.

:):):)

Cecil B Demented – Waters – 2000
Various Wire actors show up, inevitably, in this movie set in Baltimore, by Baw’more native John Waters. Great fun, organized chaos; couldn’t be more meta; a film about people making a film about film-making. No attempt at realism, but that’s ok. Satanism, Stockholm Syndrome, Celibacy for Cinema. Demented by name, demented by nature.

:):):)

Fysh · 05-07-2021 8:44pm

I haven't really been keeping up with Mubi for a while, not due to what's on offer so much as a lack of motivation on my part.

Yesterday's offering (The 10th Victim), with its comparison to Battle Royale, prompted me to stick it on, and I'm glad I did. It's a decidedly odd watch, partly because of the weird dubbing, and partly because of the camply satirical tone. The visual aspect is strong, and there's a sufficiently potent bang of 60s fashion off it to give you a serious contact high. The script is mostly pretty good, although for me suffers a bit from what I might call Terminal Italianism - in that the protagonist is a self-regarding, brooding, obnoxious arsehole and the women are either neurotic or constantly seeking love and/or marriage from men like the self-regarding obnoxious arsehole lead.

Borg versus McEnroe - Pedersen - 2017

Didn’t believe Shia Leboeuf for a second as McEnroe; surely they could have got someone who actually looked like him. He is not at all convincing. However, the film centres more on Borg, and this portrayal is a little more effective. There is some insight into Borg’s complicated relationship with fame, but not enough. There is a great film to be made about this story, but this is not it.

😀😀😀

A Single Man – Ford – 2009

Moments of clarity, but not that engaging. Fundamentally, the desire to live triumphs over death, though there is always an ironic sting in the tale too. Colin Firth plays himself, as he did in Bridget Jones, and certainly doesn´t extend his range here. Julianne Moore is underused. Strangely we have American actors playing British, and British playing Americans. A mixed bag.

😀😀😀

Princess Cyd – Cone – 2017

A terrific film. Full of feminine energy, it is about family, memory, youth, getting stuck in a rut, loss, trying new things, ideas, literature, growing up, getting off, the power of friendship, the pull of family and the past. Cyd, the 16 year old central character, drives the story with her wit, openness, lack of tack, appetite for life. A real surprising pleasure.

😀😀😀😀😀

Yes – Potter – 2004

A film without any real flow. We are in London, then Belfast, suddenly we are in Havana, Beirut. It is a staccato narrative not helped by the stuttery visual effects. Characters are inconsistent, adding to the imbalance. The blank verse adds to a sense of unreality; not necessarily a bad thing, but the whole thing has the feel of a rambling experiment at times.

😀😀

Irish Aris · 16-07-2021 4:11pm

I had a couple of Christian Petzold films from the Now Showing section of Mubi that I wanted to see.

It turned out that his style and subject matters are appealing to me so I ended up watching the whole retrospective that's available in the library - 7 films and 3 shorts.

His films are slow paced in general and the stories focus on the characters and what they are going through - often though and especially in his later films there are elements of fantasy - the likes of "does this really happened or is it all in the protagonist's head?". There are also allegoric references: his latest film, Undine builds a story around water. Generally there isn't really much action, the devil is in the details and random coincidences can be important and the actors express themselves with their whole body, not just by the dialogue available to them,

Petzold also has actors that are regulars in his films: Nina Hoss especially is like a muse to him, having played in 5 of Petzold's films. Her characters are always intriguing. She gives at least 2 brilliant performances in Barbara and my favourite Petzold film, Phoenix. Franz Rogowski is another regular: he has starred in the last 2 films alongside Paula Beer and their chemistry is fantastic.

fisgon · 24-07-2021 10:08pm

The tenth victim – Petri – 1965

Despite the idiotic ending, this is quite a lot of fun. Very sixties, a world where violence is controlled by a Hunger Games style hunt that channels people’s urge to kill. Very stylish, curious, though the story doesn’t always hang together. Marcello Mastroianni just plays his typical suave rogue we have seen many times before. The dubbing is weird, but the pace is fast and it is never boring.

😀😀😀

First cow – Reichardt – 2019

Kelly Reichardt does love the American wilderness. This film is set on the frontier in the 1800s, and centres on a group of people living hand to mouth in primitive conditions in Oregon. It is as slow as you would expect from Reichardt; the slowness doesn’t always add to the narrative. A small story about ambitions, dreams, a drive for survival in hostile conditions.

😀😀😀

Sibyl – Triet – 2019

This film is a bit of a mess, like its protagonist. The first half is full of these short flashbacks that break up the narrative and only serve to confuse. Once the story settles down there are intriguing aspects; the whole menage-a-trois on the film set has promise and there are some nice moments, many involving Sibyl’s sister. A mixed bag.

😀😀😀

Rubber – Dupieux – 2010

The strangest thing about this movie isn’t even the sentient, homicidal tyre, it’s the whole set up with the spectators and the question about what is real and what is fake that is truly bizarre. A lot of fun; intriguing, absurd, stupid, gruesome, never anything less than creative.

😀😀😀😀

Irish Aris · 01-08-2021 5:28pm

Watched quite a few films on Mubi the last week or so trying to catch-up on the 30 day "Now Showing" section - which I think I will fully do this week.

I enjoyed Borg vs McEnroe as I am a tennis fan, though in a way I think it was a missed opportunity for something really great. The story itself and especially the part of Borg's background was really interesting and the performances by the 2 leads and the always reliable Stellan Skarsgard were great. I think what held the film back was that the pace and editing were inconsistent throughout the film, making it hard to find high moments. Enjoyable nevertheless.

The 10th Victim was an interesting sci-fi. I was hoping that there would have been an option to watch the film in Italian with subtitles, but the Mubi Play Station app only had the English dubbed version, which I thought took something away from the film. I fully agree though with fisgon that it is a very stylish film and even when it isn't very interesting it is beautiful to watch

On the first hour of the highly acclaimed First Cow I was trying to figure out what I miss, as I found it very boring. This type of 19th century kind-of-western setting focusing on characters isn't my cup of tea to begin with and I found it very hard to stay with it. But it is a slow burner and a film that requires patience: on the second half the story is completed in a puzzle-like way, all the pieces fall into place. I will again agree with fisgon (honestly not doing it on purpose 😀 ) that not everything that happens add to the story - I feel that the film could have benefited from a tighter editing and could have been 15-20 minutes shorter without losing much of its essence.

Finally the documentary Chris The Swiss: The most interesting aspect of this documentary is the way it combines real life documenting and animation - the animation looks really cool and gives a bit of life to a story which If I'm honest didn't find all that interesting - it didn't add much to what I already knew about the conflict in the former Yugoslavia so I didn't really invested in the story of Christian Wurtenberg, the Chris of the title.

Also a heads-up for anyone that hasn't seen it, Diva, Jean Jacques Beineix visually stunning debut was added today - I haven't seen it in more than 2 decades but I remember being very impressed by it and would recommend it.

2019 portugese film , invisible life https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6390668/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 , a good film, a slight bit too long or formuliac. A shame , visutally great . had the makings of a great film . deffo worth watching though.

Freedom fields, 2018 docu on womens football in Libya . i like a good documentary and it's always a plus to record it in a country in flux and a culture i'm not familiar with. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6762296/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 . a good watch

With regards to "First Cow", it's important to remember who the director is. I've seen 2 Kelly Reichardt films recently "Old Joy" and "Meeks Cutoff", the latter of which is one of the most boring movies I've ever sat through. Old Joy isn't what you'd consider a barn-burner either. Patience is definetly a virtue when setttling down to watch one her movies.

Will watch First Cow in the next few days before it leaves, but if I don't enjoy I'll probably be better off avoiding her films in the future. She's got a lot of fans, just not sure I'm one of them.

fisgon · 05-08-2021 10:41pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117711394#Comment_117711394

Yes, definitely an acquired taste; she has a very definite style. I have been able to enjoy in a very limited fashion some of her films, but Old Joy was one of the most pointless things I have ever watched.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117712927#Comment_117712927

Thanks guys. Yes, first time watching a Kelly Reichardt film, so no point of reference.

This week's viewing included:

The Happiest Day In The Life of Olli Maki - a lovely story, based on true events. Shot in beautiful black and white, which gives it that 60s feeling. What makes it appealing for me is that the characters and actors that portray them are very likeable, especially Jarkko Lahti as Olli Maki. So even though the approach is fairly simplistic (and I'm not a fan of boxing) it was a joy to watch.

A Special Day (Una Giornata Particolare) - I meant to watch this for many years now, so was really happy to see it on Mubi and it didn't disappoint. A very interesting story brought to life by 2 exceptional performances by Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. There is a theatrical quality in the story as it takes place in the 2 apartments of the central characters. Excellent commentary on fascism, homosexuality and the role of a woman/mother in that period of time - all these elements combined perfectly in the narrative, creating dramatic tension but never becoming overdramatic. I was particularly impressed by Sophia Loren: I haven't seen many of her performances and based on her role here and also in the recent film The Life Ahead, I feel that I have really missed out. A fantastic film, one of the best I have seen recently, I highly recommend it.

Pikadero - I saw this as Ben Sharrock's new film Limbo is out on cinemas now and I plan (or should I say planned) to watch it, so I thought to start with his critically acclaimed debut. I am not a fan of this low-key story-telling. There is a certain charm on the story and its 2 main characters (especially Joseba Usabiaga's Gorka), overall though this is a kind of non-event film and not in a good way.

Happy End - I am generally a fan of Michael Haneke's cinema, but I didn't get this at all. The film revolves around a dysfunctional family which is a good starting point. Unfortunately I didn't find any of the incidents in the film remotely interesting. The beginning (with Eve filming on her phone and giving a great introduction in a less-is-more narrative) was great but after that the film is drawn to various episodes that move the story very slowly but they are never really connect. One of the worse (if not the worst) film of the great Austrian auteur and a waste of a talented cast.

Finally Diva - Jean Jacques Beineix's impressive feature film debut. The previous time I saw it was in the big screen and it definitely benefits from it, though it is still a joy to watch on TV. The film is a thriller at heart: Jules, the main character being chased by various "bad" people as he's in possession of 2 cassettes with great value. What makes Diva special for me is the visual side of things. Great colours, settings and camera position, amazing sound design, the production is top notch for the whole duration of the film. Diva was later described as one of the first films of the "cinema du look" movement, that favored style over narrative (Luc Besson and Leos Carax being the other 2 big names of that movement). A superb film that I hope to see one more time in a cinema screen.

fisgon · 08-08-2021 2:49pm

Irish Aris has already commented on a lot of these (totally stole my thunder 😀), but here they are. A certain three-star-ness about this week for me....

The happiest day in the life of Olli Maki – Kuosmanen – 2016

A story about humility and being happy with the simple life; very Finnish in its unassuming way. A charming but slight story; the black and white is obviously deliberate and adds to the effect, but any decision to film in monochrome when colour is available seems perverse. Still, quietly enjoyable.

😀😀😀

Jessica Forever – Poggi/ Vinel – 2018

Jessica; Queen Bee, goddess, Earth mother, cult leader. The film is stylish and looks great, but there is a lack of substance and context. We know almost nothing about the background society, but we do know that the orphans – who are the central characters – are mass murderers, so it is difficult to see them as heroes or victims. This is a fatal flaw, and means that the film has potential that it never reaches.

😀😀😀

Pikatero – Sharrock – 2015

The Basque melancholy and silence is a little hard to take in this film; Gorka, the central character, is more block of wood than human man. The deadpan is worthy of Kaurismaki. It is truly hard to see what Ane sees in him. The pace is gentle and it has some charm, though there is a more serious social point here about the destruction of the Spanish economy and society after the financial crash.

😀😀😀

Diva – Beineix – 1980

The film is a bit misnamed; the diva has only a minor role in the story. This is very stylish, but also messy; there is too much going on, with corrupt cops, pirate recordings, enigmatic artists, a prostitution ring. Likeable but chaotic.

😀😀😀

johnny_ultimate · 17-08-2021 12:15am

All Hands on Deck - what a delight! You never know with modern French movies as so many of them are tedious or bland… so what a pleasure to discover one that’s quietly one of the great summer movies of them all. There’s definite hints of Eric Rohmer’s great beachside films (albeit riverside in this case), but Guillaume Brac’s film is lovingly modern and light-footed in its own winning way.

It’s all the joys, fights, frustrations and romance of a summer holiday distilled into a chill, easy-going 90 mins. Some great naturalistic performances, and the camera always stays focused on the people (although gotta say having been amateur canyoning, the tension he captures of someone anxious about making a jump is perfectly true to life). Could have happily spent at least another 90 minutes hanging out with these characters, even through their moments of infuriating stupidity :)

Totally agree. This is a joy (review below).

fisgon · 17-08-2021 5:29pm

Black Bear – Levine – 2020

Plays with narrative, roles and identities in quite a Lynchian way. There are two separate but linked stories, one feeding into the other though different in important ways. The second is intriguing, though annoyingly meta, a film about filmmaking. Aubrey Plaza is powerful but her hysteria and breakdown is a little hard to take in the second section. Intriguing, though a little incomplete.

😀😀😀

Joy Division – Gee – 2007

Simple, complete, unsensationalist look at a hugely influential band that only released 2 albums. Tragically, the one voice that is missing is Ian Curtis’. Made it clear how much they have influenced modern music; Interpol couldn’t exist without JD.

😀😀😀😀

All hands on deck – Brac – 2020

Gorgeous, heart-warming without being sentimental, funny, charming, a feel-good film that is not too sweet. An embodiment of the French summer, with a multi-ethnic cast and set in an idyllic camping ground where every day is sunny and everyday worries are left behind. A simple yet joyous story of youth and discovery. A real pleasure.

😀😀😀😀😀

24 Hour Party people – Winterbottom – 2002

Not as good as it should have been. The breaking-the-fourth-wall element took from the effect, where Coogan – as Tony Wilson – keeps talking directly to the viewer, narrating or explaining what is happening in the film itself, taking us out of the experience. Gives some impression of the chaos of the times, but doesn’t quite capture the ambience, the revolution, the social upheaval.

😀😀😀

Watched "A Special Day" last night & you're right. Did'nt expect it to be a good as it was, but it was an absolutly fantastic film like you said & also one of the best I've seen recently too. Probably my favourite Mastroianni film, certainly better then "8.5" and just ahead of "La Dolce Vita" as well.

hedi, 2016, Tunisiahttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt5011242/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_6 , i liked this movie a lot. A look into tunisian culture, economy and the tensions between arranged marriage and a tight knit multigenerational life versus a longing for more control over your own life story. i've simplified it a lot which is probably why i don't write much here or anywhere on what i've watched. It's also about various crossroads we get to and have to make decisions, each of which will change direction in your life but cause pain.

Fysh · 13-09-2021 9:34am

I finally got around to Welcome II The Terrordome today, and thought it was a very good, if understandably not upbeat, watch. It's a fascinating setup for a film from 1995 - part Brazil, part gang/ghetto movie - but the narrative is more interesting than such a simplistic description might suggest, in part due to being directed by a black British-Nigerian woman and therefore having a different perspective to other films set in the ghetto. There is one subplot that reads to me as being about the difficulties of forming intersectional alliances when subjected to endless systemic racism and violence, which contrasts with another subplot about the need to overcome historical divisions and unite against a common enemy.

I liked the use of music within the film, where it's not just part of the characters' lives but also used to describe character motivations or intentions, almost like a musical at times.

Yeah, I sign up every now and again but usually when there's an offer. I had the 3 months for €1 one which I think has just expired, but I wasn't sure what the normal price was. I suppose at €50, even watching 10 films in the year is a decent return. They have the new Celine Sciamma coming next year and Joachim Trier's new one too..... I think I'll go for it.

i'm in germany a long time now . I watch a lot of mubi , some netflix (most recent series was maid, very good) have plex too but don’t use it much. I try to ease my guilty feeling by watching everything in german or at least with german subtitles so I can work on my german at the same time. I think it helps a lot . kids watch everything in english and speak english with me. Feckers are very good but new words crop up like mollycoddling and you won’t get that from videos .

Your issue is easy enough to fix/solve. Install a vpn on ur tv (firestick , have mubi on firestick) , laptop , phone , that’s what i have done for mainly the rte player app . very easy one click to turn the vpn on/off after install setup. I use vpn unlimited lifetime , 5 devices . I hunted down voucher codes that gave u the vpn lifetime for i think it was 24 euros , on their website it’s 199euros . I’ve seen voucher go as low as 14euros/dollars . If you need help , post her dm me , we can also whatsapp after dming. Nice to see that this thread is being read . A pity boards seems to have lost so many followers since their last long downtime and revamp.

Good to see you're still flying the flag for Mubi padjo 🙂 I've been pretty lax about keeping up with their releases over the last while, going to try and get back into it again this year. Looking forward to seeing The Lamb, it should be cropping up toward the end of Feb I think.

Petite Maman and The Worst Person In The World are coming at some point in the next few month too.

Petite Maman is just lovely

The Worst Person in the World is also extremely impressive (not quite as much as Petite Maman, but that’s a particularly special film). Renate Reinsve’s lead performance is maybe the best I saw in any film in 2021, perhaps tied with Simon Rex in Red Rocket.

I'm excited to see both of them, and there's zero chance the local cinema here will be showing them. I got someone to pay for a year's Mubi subscription for me for my birthday purely for these two film 😄

They are doing the three months for a euro offer at the mo so I signed up for the first time basically to watch Petite Maman when it arrives. There is a good few titles on there I want to watch besides too, gave Shiva Baby a look last weekend and enjoyed it a lot.

Petite Maman is a joy probably my film of last year.

Shiva Baby is a really good watch as well.

If you are looking for something else on mubi I would recommend limbo really excellent drama comedy.

Apostasy was added today. One of the best British films of recent years, I think. Its about a woman raising her two daughters in the Jehova Witnesses, and how their faith is questioned when one of the daughters is shunned from the community. Three really great performances from Siobhan Finneran, Molly Wright, and Sacha Parkinson, and it's written and directed by a former member of the faith. Really recommend it
