I recently discovered Mubi ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง.

Based in London and founded by Efe ร‡akarel. Born in Izmir and educated at MIT, he was worried that american streamers were flooding the world with mass Hollywood crap while quality cinema struggled.

Mubi supports and distributes movies from around the world.

On their catalogue, you find some the best award winners from the Cannes Festival, the European Film Festival, the Jerusalem Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival.

Netflix is like going to Pizza Hut.

Mubi is like eating at a Pizzeria owned by a Sicilian family.

Man, I am disappointed. I go to the website and it took me ages to find pricing. I had to go to menu > about and only then there is new menu item โ€œmembershipโ€ where I could see the price. I hate such dark patterns, if they cared they would not hide the price (and I donโ€™t even think its unreasonable price, why hide itโ€ฆ)

You are welcome. ๐Ÿ˜€

The reason why I wrote how to get there not what is there is that my prices are in CZK I have no idea if they have it priced same only based on exchange rate or based on economic strength of local currenciesโ€ฆ

I watch a fella named Thomas Flight and got 6months of Mubi for $6/mo with his promo. Idk if he still has it.

Watched a number of films on there including โ€œThe Substanceโ€. I cancelled because $15 is a lot once the promo went out, weโ€™s poor people

I like your enthusiasm, and it definietly looks like a well curated alternative, but is it not co-owned by the american company: Criterion Collection?
