Thought might be worth having a seperate thread for recommendations of stuff on there
Watched 2 the other day
Shiva Baby - really, really good. Funny drama set almost completely at a shiva
Friends and Strangers - Kinda aimless Australian film, just following a few different people. Not brilliant but worth a watch as has some funny moments
Watched Titane at the cinema, hadn’t seen any review or synopsis, maybe the most fucked up film I’ve seen. Didnt think it was great but was never bored, I guess
Good idea, I don’t often go into the film threads because they get so unwieldy but I do have a Mubi account that I’d like to get more use out of this year.
I think the last film I watched on there was Maelstrom which I enjoyed – started to watch Annette a week ago but decided in the first 10 mins that I really wasn’t in the mood for it.
I really need to use it more, get through about 3 films a month at the moment which I guess justifies the £6 but there’s loads of good stuff I just don’t get round to and they removed loads of stuff on my watch list at the start of this month.
They often do a thing where you can send a specific film to a friend if you’ve hit watched it to entice them in so if anyone reading the thread thinks they’d like to watch a specific film mentioned, might be able to share
My usage of Mubi really dropped off after lockdown. Find a lot of the selection now just not really to my taste, there’s only so many extremely slow and meandering ~meditations on life~ films I can stand to watch nowadays which makes up for quite a lot of their additions.
Considering cancelling this and switching to BFI for a bit.
Yeah, despite the big back catalogue that’s now available in the Library part, we also got Disney+ and Netflix in lockdown, so have spent most of our time watching programmes and films on there.
We really liked the MubiGo part too, and used to go most weeks, but we’ve only been to the cinema once since March 2020.
