New Movies to Watch on MUBI in June 2025: A Curated Cinematic Experience
As June 2025 unfolds, MUBI is set to enhance its streaming lineup with an eclectic mix of new titles, promising to captivate audiences with diverse storytelling and acclaimed cinematic works. Sixteen new titles will be introduced throughout the month, offering viewers a rich tapestry of genres and themes.
David Lynch's Iconic Series Comes to MUBI
For fans of surreal storytelling and enigmatic narratives, June 13, 2025, marks a significant date. MUBI will welcome the arrival of David Lynch's seminal series, "Twin Peaks," including seasons one and two, along with the critically lauded "Twin Peaks: The Return." Originally airing between 1990 and 1991, the first two seasons of "Twin Peaks" revolutionized television with their distinctive blend of mystery, horror, and surrealism, set against the backdrop of a seemingly idyllic small town in the Pacific Northwest.
"Twin Peaks: The Return," released in 2017, continued to expand the series' mythos, bringing back beloved characters while introducing new layers of intrigue and complexity. Its addition to MUBI allows a new generation of viewers to dive into Lynch's universe and offers longtime fans the chance to revisit this groundbreaking work.
A Season of Unconventional Narratives: "This is Not a Coming Out Story"
MUBI's June offerings also include a curated selection under the theme "This is Not a Coming Out Story," which features films that explore LGBTQ+ themes with nuance and depth. The lineup includes titles such as "Crossing," "The Living End," and "The Way He Looks." Each film provides a unique perspective on identity, relationships, and the societal challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals.
"The Living End," directed by Gregg Araki, is a seminal work from the New Queer Cinema movement, noted for its portrayal of two HIV-positive men on a road trip grappling with love and mortality. "The Way He Looks," a Brazilian coming-of-age story, delicately explores the romantic awakening of a blind teenager, capturing the universal struggle for acceptance and self-discovery.
Simon Hacker's "Notice to Quit" Premieres
Among the highlights of MUBI's June lineup is the addition of Simon Hacker's 2024 film "Notice to Quit," featuring Michael Zegen. Scheduled to premiere on June 13, 2025, this film explores themes of belonging and resistance within a community on the brink of change. Zegen's performance has been praised for its depth and authenticity, bringing to life the film's complex narrative.
The film's inclusion in MUBI's June schedule underscores the platform's commitment to showcasing contemporary cinema that pushes boundaries and challenges conventional storytelling. "Notice to Quit" promises to be a compelling addition to MUBI's diverse catalog.
A Wide Array of New Releases
In addition to these standout features, MUBI's June 2025 slate includes a variety of other noteworthy films. François Ozon's "Stranger by the Lake" delves into themes of desire and danger at a secluded beach, while "Totally F***ed Up," another film by Gregg Araki, offers a raw depiction of teenage angst and rebellion.
Also joining the lineup are titles like "I Am Divine," a documentary celebrating the life of the iconic drag performer Divine, and "Keep the Lights On," a film that chronicles the tumultuous relationship between two men over a decade. "Naz + Maalik," "Party Girl," "Majorie Prime," and "Việt and Nam" round out a month rich with diverse storytelling and innovative filmmaking.
These new additions reflect MUBI's ongoing dedication to providing a platform for films that challenge the status quo and offer fresh perspectives. As audiences explore these new titles, MUBI continues to solidify its reputation as a go-to destination for cinephiles seeking unique and thought-provoking content.
