Pic­ture­house joins the MUBI GO fold

Excit­ing news for UK cin­ema­go­ers: Pic­ture­house Cin­e­mas have joined MUBI GO’s ever-expand­ing net­work of part­ner venues across the coun­try. For the unini­ti­at­ed, a sub­scrip­tion to MUBI GO allows you one cin­e­ma tick­et every week to watch their spe­cial­ly select­ed ​‘Film of the Week’, as well as access to a thought­ful­ly curat­ed selec­tion of films from across the globe to watch on demand. Past ​‘Film of the Week’ titles include Char­lotte Wells’ After­sun, Dar­ren Aronofsky’s The Whale, Geor­gia Oakley’s Blue Jean and Lukas Dhont’s Close.

This week’s free cin­e­ma tick­et comes in the form of the first col­lab­o­ra­tion between husband/​wife film­mak­er duo Felix van Groenin­gen and Char­lotte Van­der­meer­sch: The Eight Moun­tains. This film tells the tale of an unlike­ly broth­er­hood, chart­ing the bond between two boys as they grow into men and drift apart until their paths even­tu­al­ly lead them back to where they first met. Our review­er, Rafa Sales Ross, calls the film a ​“gen­tle epic, equal­ly accom­plished in its min­i­mal­is­tic approach to inti­ma­cy as in its grandiose por­tray­al of landscapes”.

And if you’re look­ing into plan­ning next week’s cin­e­ma trip, we got word that the next Film of the Week is Ari Aster’s much-antic­i­pat­ed, Kafkaesque Beau is Afraid. This one has gar­nered a mixed recep­tion from audi­ences and crit­ics alike, so head down to your local Pic­ture­house, show your MUBI GO code at the box office, and see what you make of it.

MUBI are offer­ing two months of MUBI GO for the dis­count­ed price of £20. That’s eight trips to the cin­e­ma to see the best new releas­es hand-picked by MUBI’s cura­tors, plus hun­dreds of films to stream anytime.
