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

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.

gmisk · 22-08-2021 4:05pm

I see "good vibrations" is now on mubi..hugely enjoyable little film about Terri Hooley who was a huge influence in the NI punk scene.

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.

Rojo , 2018 Argentenian . Good fim , throwback to the 1970's when things were in flux a lot . https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8956390/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_8

I watched another movie on plex last night french 2020 film called all hands on deck https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11068166/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 , enjoyed it , lighter film but very entertaining

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.

padjocollins · 17-10-2021 10:01am

watched cargo 200 , russian movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0847880/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_2 , thought it was well worth watching. not brilliant but a very well made movie

very enjoyable, well worth a watch

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 05-11-2021 11:46am

Mubi doing an offer this weekend, a whole year for €50. Is that good value?

gmisk · 05-11-2021 5:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118122186#Comment_118122186

Very decent imo.

If you are into foreign films especially, always something interesting on it

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118123986#Comment_118123986

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.

gmisk · 05-11-2021 5:55pm

They also have censor a really decent little horror at the minute.

I would say I watch a film per week

padjocollins · 22-11-2021 6:50am

The bacchus lady , South Korea 2016,

A story about the old poor , about preparing for death dealing with deep regret . A tough watch it has lots of tender moments

https://mubi.com/films/the-third-wife , https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7692966/?ref_=ttmi_tt. Sensual, slow moving at times but wouldn't say boring .

padjocollins · 06-12-2021 10:50am

https://mubi.com/films/in-the-name-of , polish 2013 , https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2650642/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_5 , a love story in a country not unlike where ireland was at x many years ago . Well worth watching

padjocollins · 14-12-2021 12:35pm

by the grace of god , french 2018 https://mubi.com/films/alexandre-2019/player , https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8095860/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 A long film but it uses the time to go into a lot more detail. Very well made

Are you in a different country? I've been wanting to see that one for a while but it doesn't appear to be on Mubi here.

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.

Fysh · 05-01-2022 3:13pm

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.

gmisk · 05-01-2022 10:49pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118421997#Comment_118421997

Petite Maman is just lovely

johnny_ultimate · 05-01-2022 10:59pm

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.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 06-01-2022 12:01am

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 😄

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118423947#Comment_118423947

ye might give a shout out when it’s available to watch on mubi 👍️

Mickeroo · 07-01-2022 9:49am

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.

gmisk · 07-01-2022 7:47pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118431495#Comment_118431495

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.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 12-01-2022 12:33pm

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
