  • HIGH & LOW - JOHN GALLIANO — Kevin Macdonald tackles fashion and forgiveness
    Mar 7 2024

    Superstar fashion designer John Galliano wrecked his career when he was caught on video in a drunken, antisemitic rant circa 2011. Now, in a new documentary, Oscar-winning documentarian Kevin Macdonald (WHITNEY, ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER) asks audiences to gaze into Galliano’s eyes and decide for themselves if he deserves a second act.

    On this special episode, Macdonald tells host Rico Gagliano about coming to terms with fashion, ambiguity, and the human mind.

    HIGH AND LOW - JOHN GALLIANO comes to US and UK theaters on March 8, in Latin America March 14, and in Germany April 11. For tickets and showtimes, visit mubi.com/galliano

  • Sofia Coppola — PRISCILLA, from source to soundtrack
    Feb 29 2024

    In a wide-ranging interview, Sofia Coppola tells host Rico Gagliano all about the making of her new Priscilla Presley biopic—from the Kubrick flick that inspired her opening sequence...to picking the soundtrack full of pop tunes by just about everyone except Elvis.

    It's a follow-up to last week's career-spanning look at the themes threaded through Coppola's films and fashions—and a fitting end to our season.

    Season 5, titled Tailor Made, dives deep into the worlds of film and fashion. Each episode tackles a landmark movie that captured a major fashion look of an era, and then decodes what that look meant—to the culture that spawned it, the people who wore it, and the audiences who watched it on screen.

    Sofia Coppola's PRISCILLA will stream exclusively on MUBI in the UK, Germany, Turkey, India and Latin America starting March 1. It is also currently in cinemas in many countries. For tickets and showtimes, visit mubi.com/priscilla

    "Performers We Love: Lily Gladstone"—our series dedicated to Oscar frontrunner and scenestealer Lily Gladstone—is available to stream in many countries.
