With that in mind, we selected nine films that we believe fit with MUBI: some masterpieces, featuring visionary filmmakers and amazing actors and actresses. Check out our recommendations below.

In the mood for love, Wong Kar Wai (2000)

Wong Kar Wai's melancholic masterpiece is set in the early 60s in Hong Kong. “It's an unsettling moment,” we read at the beginning of the film. Bright hallways, loves, and glances are contemplated in this romance.

Frances Ha, Noah Baumbach (2012)

Young and idealistic, Frances is alone in New York. Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig immortalize, in black and white, the lives of young adults in love with a city - that does not always love them back.

Irreversible, Gaspar Noé (2002)

The beginning is always a portent of the end. Told in reverse chronological order, Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci star in this thriller by Gaspar Noé. A dark and vengeful story.

Memoria, Apichatpong Weerasethakul (2021)

A mystery that only passes through the memory of Tilda Swinton. Teetering on uncertainty, Weerasethakul invites us to explore history, questioning its identity.

Only Lovers Left Alive, Jim Jarmusch (2013)

A film about vampires who have been in love for centuries. The volatile world, deep time, and long duration are themes explored by Jarmusch in this drama that treats art as a rejuvenating force.

All About My Mother, Pedro Almodóvar (1999)

Emotionally intense and feminine, Pedro Almodóvar's most acclaimed melodrama is a mix of tragedy and comedy. The film is an ode to the actresses who star in it.

Priscilla, Sofia Coppola (2023)

Through Priscilla's eyes, her relationship and marriage with Elvis are shown to be complex, worrying, but understandable. Sofia Coppola's strongest work shows the reality of a fairy tale.

Green Vinyl, Kleber Mendonça Filho (2005)

Kleber's short is sweet and melancholic. The irreparable loss of innocence and obedience is seen through the eyes of a child and follows her throughout the days.

Battle Royale, Kinji Fukasaku (2000)

A futuristic bloodbath that allows no complacency. One of Tarantino's favorite films, it is political and alternates between satire and horror.
