WELCOME TO MUBI

With sharp wit and cathartic intensity, Coralie Fargeat turns toxic beauty culture inside out in her Oscar®-winning latest feature. Powered by a career-best performance from Demi Moore, The Substance fearlessly bulldozes its way into the midnight-movie pantheon and the feminist canon.

The second feature from Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli, this wicked comedy is a deliciously dark portrait of a toxic relationship. With a delectable pair of performances at its center, Sick of Myself plumbs the merciless depths of its protagonists’ narcissism for an uproarious modern fable.

Textured with russet reds and pollinic yellows, Athina Rachel Tsangari’s spellbinding allegory gleans an atmospheric folk tale from a rural idyll. As landowners sow the seeds of modern capital, Sean Price Williams reaps horror and beauty from the earth with swirling, immersive cinematography.

Refracting the iconic image of lo-fi band Pavement into new, hybrid forms, acclaimed filmmaker Alex Ross Perry innovatively distorts the music documentary. Joe Keery stars alongside the ’90s group, toying with their slacker-indie commitment to alternative culture with dazzling, hilarious subversion.

A Locarno prizewinner, Saulė Bliuvaitė’s debut feature is as unsparing as measuring tape and as sharp as high heels. Looking at an exploitative fashion industry through the gaze of determined teenagers, Toxic is a visually striking portrait of girls zigzagging between competition and friendship.
