MUBI RELEASES: DIE MY LOVE

From renowned filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, Die My Love (2025) is a visceral and uncompromising portrait of a woman engulfed by love and madness. It is anchored by a ferocious, tour-de-force performance from Jennifer Lawrence; Robert Pattinson co-stars in the film.

The film follows Grace (Lawrence) and her partner Jackson (Pattinson), who have recently moved into an old house deep in the country. With ambitions to write The Great American Novel, Grace settles into her new environment. The couple welcome a baby soon after. However, with Jackson frequently – and suspiciously – absent, the pressures of domestic life start to weigh on her. Consequently, Grace begins to unravel, leaving a path of destruction in her wake.

Based on Ariana Harwicz’s celebrated novel and co-starring Sissy Spacek, LaKeith Stanfield, and Nick Nolte, Ramsay marks her eagerly awaited return with this fearless new cinematic vision that charts the complexity of love and how it can change and transform over time.

From roles that shifted cultural paradigms like Daniel Kaluuya’s breakout turn in Get Out (2017) to performances that made critics seriously reconsider their talents, such as Robert Pattinson’s bravura showing in Good Time (2017), this collection celebrates the young performers who have come to define the modern film industry.

NOBODY’S PERFECT: THREE COMEDIES BY BILLY WILDER

The NOBODY’S PERFECT: THREE COMEDIES BY BILLY WILDER collection brings together two of the director’s most playful and subversive comedies alongside The Apartment (1960), already streaming. In Some Like It Hot (1959), Billy Wilder pushes screwball chaos to delirious extremes, using disguise, desire, and rapid-fire wit to upend ideas of gender, romance, and respectability gleefully. Irma La Douce (1963) shifts the setting to a stylised Parisian red-light district, pairing Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine in a crooked love story built on elaborate deception and romantic idealism. Together, these films showcase Wilder’s gift for turning moral messiness into irresistible comedy—where nobody’s perfect, but everyone’s human.

Some Like It Hot (Wilder, 1959) – January 2 

Irma la Douce (Wilder, 1963) – January 2

The Apartment (Wilder, 1960) – Now Streaming

THE NEW YEARS: SERIES FINALE

After a decade traced through annual New Year’s Eve encounters, The New Years reaches its final episode on January 28. From César-winning filmmaker Rodrigo Sorogoyen, the series returns to Ana and Óscar on the final night of the year, featuring a climactic 40-minute continuous single shot that brings the show’s questions about time, intimacy, and relationships into sharp focus.

The New Years (Sorogoyen, 2024) – Series Finale on January 28

BLUE VELVET

David Lynch’s disquieting Blue Velvet (1986) begins in the picture-perfect town of Lumberton, where white picket fences and smiling faces conceal something deeply rotten beneath the surface. When college student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) discovers a severed human ear, his curiosity draws him into a shadowy underworld of violence and sexual obsession, centred on the troubled nightclub singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini). Aided by the wide-eyed Sandy (Laura Dern), Jeffrey drifts uneasily from innocence toward experience. Scored by Angelo Badalamenti’s haunting music, Blue Velvet exposes the disturbing desires lurking behind America’s idealised self-image, insisting that darkness and longing are inseparable from its dreams.

Blue Velvet (Lynch, 1986) – January 15

UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES

Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s undefinable Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) follows a dying man as he spends his final days in rural Thailand, visited by spirits from his past, including his deceased wife and a long-lost son. As Boonmee reflects on former lives and lingering guilt, the boundaries between the living and the dead quietly dissolve. Gentle, strange, and deeply serene, the film treats reincarnation, memory, and the natural world as part of a single, continuous rhythm of existence.

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (Weerasethakul, 2010) – January 16

THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER

Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) tracks cardiologist Steven Murphy (Colin Farrell) as his ostensibly perfect family life unbuckles under the sinister influence of a teenage boy, Martin (Barry Keoghan), whose mysterious vendetta brings unexpected illness to the household. Lanthimos’s trademark deadpan style and unsettling atmosphere turn everyday routines into rituals that are nailbitingly tense to watch.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (Lanthimos, 2017) – January 16
