WELCOME TO MUBI

Winner of Un Certain Regard at Cannes, Diego Céspedes’s debut feature pays luminous tribute to human resilience in inhumane times. Equal parts Chilean Western, dark fairy tale, and chosen-family hangout movie, this gorgeous work of queer magical realism finds love thriving amid sickness and hatred.

Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor star in this nostalgic, aching romance, lifting a profound story of yearning in exquisitely tender performances. Interweaving timeless folk tunes with sumptuous, autumnal images, director Oliver Hermanus chronicles a love whose reverberations are felt for a lifetime.

Take a tumble down the rabbit holes of internet culture with this uncanny coming-of-age tale from director Jane Schoenbrun. Skirting the boundaries of horror, We’re All Going to the World’s Fair is a nerve-shredding fever dream of collective psychosis from the dark heart of the online zeitgeist.

Oedipus wrecks in this vigorous domestic provocation from director Karim Aïnouz and Dogtooth screenwriter Efthimis Filippou. With an all-star cast that includes Elle Fanning, Callum Turner, and Riley Keough, Rosebush Pruning is a wickedly cutthroat satire of class, fashion, and privilege.

Hustling through the streets of New York, this breezy debut feature from writer-director Jay Dockendorf unfurls across a single summer’s day. With its newcomer leads making for easy, loose-limbed company, Naz + Maalik weighs the price of tenderness and love against the strictures of expectation.

Icons of cinema Delphine Seyrig and Magdalena Montezuma star in this wildly loose and freaky Virginia Woolf adaptation. Twirling visions of new, decadent glamor from worshipping rituals, sex, and commerce, director Ulrike Ottinger frolics in Orlando’s transhistorical sprawl with outrageous glee.

Premiering at Sundance, this indie is a sensitive look at the lifecycle of an imperfect match. Director Ira Sachs based the script on his own personal relationship, but transcends the personal aspects of his experience to form a universal and resonant look at the bonds formed through a partnership.
