Lets get arty and pretentious: The MUBI Thread.

The Piano Accident.

I just love Quentin Dupieux’ s films, this one felt quite normal for his mostly deranged comedy but its also the saddest.

Adèle Exarchopoulos is marvellous as an influencer, and gotta say, i know a lot of real ones who behave just like this character.

[VinylGuy]

I dont think i can praise ¨Los Años Nuevos¨ enough.

Its a masterpiece. Two episodes more to finish it and im already missing it.

Again, best series ive seen in a while. Amazing performances, great writing, great direction. This series is a must.

Im already in for a rewatch.

[The Argonaut]

I'm going to watch that Joe Wright Mussolini miniseries

[VinylGuy]

Just watch Los Años Nuevos.

Damn it Argo

[LoathedVermin72]

I hate that Mubi keeps buying up the US rights to Dupieux movies

[VinylGuy]

Im glad.
It also makes sense as they sometimes premiere them at the movies and they also push them on their streaming service so you actually know they are available.

[LoathedVermin72]

Yeah except it pretty much guarantees no physical release and I can't rent or buy them digitally either. I'm not paying $15 for a month of Mubi to watch one movie.

[VinylGuy]

well dont do it.

MUBI has lots of great movies and series. Im sure there are enough stuff to watch in one month. You could also subscribe for a week and watch it for free.

or


You can always use Stremio.

I already did this to watch the last few Dupieux movies they swallowed so I can't anymore. I did watch some other stuff but a week was enough for everything.

Streaming services in general have gotten way too expensive now. It was the sweet spot when they were like ~$8 a month. Now everything seems to be asking $15-$30 (or more sometimes!). Totally absurd, not worth it at all.

[VinylGuy]

yeah streaming got expensive...but i very gladly pay for this one.
I also have Hbo Max, who has gorgeous old Warner transfers and some other stuff i see.

Both of them are pretty cheap here.

I dont pay for Netflix or Disney, mostly because their bulk of content suck hard. If i wanna see something from them, i use stremio and im very happy with my choices.

Thanks for reminding me to watch The Piano Accident. I love Dupieux, I don't think we've ever talked about him here before?

[VinylGuy]

i talked about him before not sure in which thread. I recently saw ¨Le deuxième acte¨ and found it hilarious. Also big fan of ¨Rubber¨ of course.

Next in line is ¨Yannick¨

[LoathedVermin72]

Dupieux is one of the best directors working. Mandibles and Deerskin are my favorites - ADORE them both. But Rubber, Yannick, Keep an Eye Out, and Smoking Causes Coughing are also great.

[The Argonaut]

I loved The Piano Accident, thanks guys. Gonna look at the other Dupieux stuff on MUBI, haven't dug into him before

[VinylGuy]

you are welcome Argo.

[The Argonaut]

Yannick has got me fucked up. That is some kind of movie.

After Piano Accident, I watched Keep an Eye Out and Smoking Causes Coughing. I found both to be very funny and charming and strange and really enjoyable.

Yannick is a whole other thing. I was genuinely terrified! And sad about a lot of it. It was not enjoyable, and I never laughed, but it is a tremendous movie. I don't think I really have a box in my head I can put it in quite yet. It's something else

[LoathedVermin72]

Yannick is a mindfuck. But it’s also very funny and enjoyable. Dupieux is amazing. The total antidote to what most acclaimed directors are doing right now (read: having fun twisting around a ton of complex ideas in a very short runtime)

[VinylGuy]

yeah, Yannick is wonderful. Very funny and like you said, very sad. I like the ending too, that cut to black is pretty powerful.

"Thoroughbreds"

not the artiest thing available on MUBI but fancied something middlebrow; I don't know why it's taken me so long as I'm a fan of both main actors (Olivia Cook from Bates Motel, Anya from, well everything) but yeah this is a really good movie, if a bit familiar (very "Cruel Intentions", "Heathers", rich people psycho thriller type beat)
