WELCOME TO MUBI

The first Nigerian film ever to screen in Official Selection at Cannes, this prizewinning debut feature from Akinola Davies Jr. is steeped in feeling and lyrical imagery. Bathing the father-son bond in a tender glow, this vibrant coming-of-age tale gathers up precious things amid political tumult.

Marking her long-awaited return to fiction filmmaking, Andrea Arnold’s tender and surprising coming-of-age fable heralds an astounding debut from newcomer Nykiya Adams. Buoyed by spirited turns from Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogowski, Bird leaps from overlooked fringes of life toward sky-high dreams.

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.
