Isn’t it great to have cinemas back? We certainly think so. And one film we really can’t wait to see on the big screen is ‘First Cow’, Kelly Reichardt’s sublime portrait of friendship on the the frontier of the Pacific Northwest.
It’s a gripping and quietly powerful tale of life in the Old West with the kind of sumptuous cinematography that cinema screens were made for. Because let’s face it, it’s sure been handy over the last year to be in a world of seamless streaming but some films really reward that full cinema-going experience. This is one of them.
Our film team certainly loved it, praising it in their four-star review for summoning ‘glorious earthy poetry from the raw materials of early American life’. And it’s not just us, either – this moving depiction of the friendship between a taciturn loner and a Chinese immigrant, each seeking their fortune, has received rave reviews from anyone who matters.
Sound like your kind of film? Well, we have some good news. You see, it’s this Friday's pick for MUBI GO’s film of the week, which means MUBI GO subscribers will be able to see it in the cinema for free. Alongside a new film to stream online every day, too. Sounds like the perfect way to celebrate the return of cinema if you ask us. See you there. |
