Arthouse cinema streaming service Mubi is providing an exclusive UK showcase for movies made theatrically homeless by the pandemic this May.
A hit with film festival goers last year, Elizabeth Sankey’s documentary Romantic Comedy, is a must watch. A whirlwind essay on the tropes of celluloid romance, it feature’s Sankey’s pithy narration set to an endless montage of clips; everything you need to know about romantic comedies delivered in under 80 minutes. It’s available to smooch May 7.
It’ll be followed on May 20 by Vitalina Varela, a somewhat bleaker watch by Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa. For something different, try Ben Rivers and Anocha Suwichakornpong’s Thai community drama Krabi, 2562 which rounds out the month on May 29.
