Looking to find quality European cinema in the streaming universe? These six services yield rich rewards
The discerning streaming service for those overwhelmed by the mass of content on Netflix and its ilk, Mubi offers a curated, rotating selection – one in, one out, every day – of 30 classic and contemporary arthouse films, with an array of themed seasons and mini-retrospectives dedicated to certain film-makers or movements. While its remit is global, European cinema obviously features heavily. On the menu at time of writing: Greek film-maker Babis Makridis’s vicious, Sundance-acclaimed black comedy Pity; Wim Wenders’ early existential thriller The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick; and the little-seen Ingmar Bergman chamber piece Crisis. A subscription is £7.99 a month; in the Rentals section, non-subscribers can access more than 150 pay-per-view films – from Jean-Luc Godard to Portuguese post-modernist Miguel Gomes – for £3.49 a go.
