As we all know, many things change as we get older. Two fundamental ones are the acceleration of time and the helplessness to answer the question: What do you actually want? While the wait for Christmas as a child felt like an eternity and the wish list was endless, this year the holidays have arrived far too quickly, and somehow you already have everything. For all those who still want to give presents to themselves and their loved ones, here is a recommendation that combines everything: romance and excitement, peace and comfort, pleasant creepiness, cathartic anger, and comforting sadness. There are a zillion different pictures, inspirations, and quotes — something for those who want to be alone or something to share with their loved ones. Bottomless fun and cultural education, full of journeys to the most distant worlds, all from the comfort of your own sofa. And something that definitely won’t be lying around unnecessarily. Sounds good? Works well too. We’re talking about Mubi, of course. Mubi, the cinema-on-demand service, curates classics and soon-to-be-classics on its streaming platform. The focus here is on great films. Highlights include Mathieu Kassovitz’s “La Haine,” Charlotte Wells’ award-winning drama “Aftersun,” Jim Jarmusch’s “Night on Earth,” and Ira Sach’s latest work “Passages.” These selections are constantly changing — you can never finish watching Mubi. At least that’s what my brother said when I gave him a subscription last year. Incidentally, it will simply be renewed again this year. How very practical!
