7 Reasons to subscribe to Mubi

MUBI (formerly known as The Auteurs) is a global, curated film streaming platform.

MUBI produces and theatrically distributes films by emerging and established filmmakers, which are exclusively available on this OTT platform. Additionally, it publishes Notebook, film criticism, and news publication, and provides weekly cinema tickets to select few new releases through MUBI GO.

MUBI's streaming platform is available in over 190 countries on the web, Roku devices, PlayStation, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, LG, and Samsung Smart TVs, as well as on mobile devices including iPhone, iPad, and Android.

Here are 10 reasons why you need to get a Mubi subscription now:

1. Exclusivity

The streaming service Mubi operates unlike any of its peers. A new movie is introduced to its subscribers every day, and it’s available on the site for the theatrical equivalent of a limited run. After 30 days, it’s gone.

As a user, I consider it a unique way of drawing a viewer and sometimes an idiosyncratic strategy. Recently, while browsing the site’s “Now Showing” page, I spotted the Film of the Day as ‘Kireedam’, a Malayalam Classic from 1989 that speaks about an inadvertent moment of rage and the series of unanticipated repercussions that follow. The director Sibi Malayil paints a very somber picture of a man torn between his father and himself.

This film, like many others, was lost to time until Mubi decided to give it a new lease of life by making it available for its users for 30 days.

2. Global Cinema

When it comes to global cinema, Mubi is the perfect platform to explore what seems to be cinema that would not catch your eye. In a world where flashy is more popular, and subtle is irrelevant, Mubi brings the best of handpicked cinema to your streaming device. Mubi is one of the very few first-rate sites that cater to cinephiles. Its mix of current and vintage films, the global scope of the selections, and the truly eclectic array of genres are simply superb. You could watch one movie a day and never feel aesthetically pigeonholed.

3. Variety

Then again, the variety and the nature of the choices are elating. Mubi is one of a few top-notch destinations that oblige cinephiles with its blend of current and vintage films, the worldwide extent of the determinations, and the genuinely mixed exhibit of all kinds of genres. (There are films from Australia, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Portugal, Israel, Italy, and Britain as well as Chile, France, and India) You could watch one film a day and feel fully content.

4. Restricted Choices promoting diversity

Mubi began around 10 years prior under the name the Auteurs. The site was established by Efe Cakarel, a business visionary who, in a new telephone discussion, portrayed the cycle that prompted Mubi's method of getting things done. "To start with, we needed to resemble Netflix, however the unit economics of an 'everything you-can-eat site is capital serious," Mr. Cakarel said. "The inquiry turns out to be, how would you make a convincing encounter? In the event that you can't get 10,000 titles, what about a restricted choice?"

It's exactly on the grounds that the determination is intended to mirror the cravings of its client base, which is mostly educated and enthusiastic, that Mubi's diversity works. The site has 100,000 supporters, however, over 11,000,000 enrolled clients, a group of people that will gobble up Four Roads, a film released this year in Italy by filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher, Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Lizzie Borden’s Born in Flames with pretty much comparable eagerness as Chilean film Death Will Come And Shall Have Your Eyes.

5. Curated lists for everyone

The site often ventures into director-specific films, releasing David Fincher’s Fight Club, along with Gone Girl and highlighting the meticulous detail in his films which usually capture the human psyche brilliantly. Providing a cult classic of the 90’s talking about moral corruption in a masculine world against the contrast in complexities of a woman’s mind, Mubi promises Fincher fans the opportunity to “see double”.

6. Making festival favorites into fan favorites

It’s a common notion that a ton of motion pictures that do well with festival crowds don't get far enough out into the commercial center to try and begin to track down a more extensive crowd.

This is the place where Mubi desires to offer something.

"At the point when some extraordinary film debuts at Cannes, and the rights are purchased, what normally happens is that after a dramatic run, the film enters a conditional window — iTunes, DVD, Blu-beam, etc — and afterward a compensation TV window, where it will remain only for around year and a half," Cakarel said. "During that time, Netflix, with all the cash on the planet, will not have the option to stream that film. The best way to split this up is to get every one of the rights to the film, even to go into creation." Netflix and Amazon have established solid connections in film creation, and Mr. Cakarel communicated an aspiration to do likewise.

Mubi’s "Revelations" program, which, as its title suggests, centers on new movies that have dazzled its audiences at various film festivals.

7. Cost friendly
