What’s streaming on MUBI
November 2025

THE HISTORY OF SOUND

The History of Sound (LGBTQ+, Romance, History, Drama) – Streaming exclusively on MUBI starting November 1
Dir. Oliver Hermanus, 2025
Starring Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor, THE HISTORY OF SOUND is a sweeping, moving and tender romance that spans decades and continents. In 1917, Lionel (Mescal, Aftersun) – a young, talented music student – meets David (O’Connor, Challengers) at the Boston Conservatory, where a connection over a deep love of music leads to a fleeting love affair. They reconnect years later, leading to an impromptu journey through the backwoods of Maine to collect traditional folk songs. This unexpected reunion and the music they preserve will shape the course of Lionel’s life for decades to come. From director Oliver Hermanus (Living), this is a beautiful and compelling cinematic experience that tells the story of a love that can’t last, a life forever altered, and the ways in which music creates bonds between us that echo for a lifetime.

WINTER IN SOKCHO

Winter in Sokcho (Drama) – Streaming exclusively on MUBI starting November 7
Dir. Koya Kamura, 2024
A young woman struggling to claim her identity and independence has her routine disrupted when a French artist checks into the small guesthouse in snowy Sokcho where she works. WINTER IN SOKCHO had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024 and is the feature directorial debut of Koya Kamura.

THE FEATHERWEIGHT

The Featherweight (Drama, Biography, Sport) – Streaming exclusively on MUBI starting November 21
Dir. Robert Kolodny, 2023
Set in 1964, a camera crew follows Willie Pep, retired featherweight boxing champion. Down and out in Hartford, CT, married to a woman half his age and with a drug-addled son and mounting debts, Pep decides to make a return to the ring. THE FEATHERWEIGHT stars Ron Livingston (Band of Brothers) and premiered at Venice International Film Festival in 2023.

INTERNET BOYFRIENDS

The internet boyfriend is to Gen Z what the matinée idol was to unchaperoned cinemagoers of a hundred years ago. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Paul Mescal and Riz Ahmed, Josh O’Connor and Steven Yeun: These are the Rudolph Valentinos and Tony Morenos of our time. We romance them in a time-honoured fashion, watching their films again and again. But while 1920s admirers walked briskly to the Picture Palace in their cloche hats and tam o’ shanters to worship a Latin lover they shared with a million other girls, we show our affections in newfangled ways: with digital facsimiles of stars’ images and appeal. Their handsome features and irresistible charisma are piston-filled into fan edits and memes, and circulated around the world in the flutter of a heartbeat. Everywhere all at once, these sex symbols link the internet in a Ring a Ring o’ Roses of virtual devotion: an all-singing, all-dancing parasocial fantasy. Flushed with dream fever, we all fall down!

This INTERNET BOYFRIENDS collection gathers in one place contemporary cinema’s pin-ups, and caters to all tastes. Think of it as a dating agency. Find your next obsession here, or make up with the last one. These days, we move through imaginary boyfriends at a rate of knots. Crushes flare brightly, sending the hive into overdrive, only to putter out when a new contender comes on the scene. Don’t fight the times: An internet boyfriend isn’t for life; he’s for as many—or as few—nights as you like…

LET’S EAT!: FOOD AND FILM

A stew simmers on a hot stove; colourful dishes adorn an overflowing dinner table; faces brighten with delight at the first forkful of a meal: More than mere prop, food is the main event across the films of the LET’S EAT!: FOOD AND FILM collection. We can’t eat the screen, but the directors gathered here are alive to the cinematic pleasures to be savored in cooking and eating.

Some luxuriate in the magic of the kitchen. As ingredients transform before our eyes, an appetizing symphony of sizzling, boiling, and chopping quietens the mind and sends the stomach rumbling. Other filmmakers zoom out from the preparation of food to capture atmosphere. Cooking is a meditative, sensual, and intimate experience for some of these protagonists, but a race against time for others. Behind the scenes in busy restaurant kitchens, chefs survive turbulent shifts thanks to the camaraderie bubbling up between cooking stations.

Krisha (Drama) – Streaming on November 1
Dir. Trey Edward Shults, 2015
After a long absence, a woman reunites with her family for a holiday gathering. She sees it as an opportunity to fix her past mistakes, cook the family turkey and prove to her loved ones that she has changed for the better. But her delirium takes her family on a holiday that no one will forget.

Soul Kitchen (Comedy, Drama) – Streaming on November 12
Dir. Fatih Akın, 2015
Owner of a locals-only diner in Hamburg, Zinos is down on his luck. His girlfriend has moved to Shanghai, customers are boycotting the kitchen’s new gourmet menu, and he’s now got back issues. Things improve when a hip crowd embraces his revamped restaurant, but that doesn’t fix Zinos’ broken heart.

This collection also includes:

• FREMONT (2023) – Babak Jalali
• SEXUAL DRIVE (2021) – Kota Yoshida
