Check out the list of movies, series and specials coming to Mubi in February 2026 below. In the comments section, let me know which ones you are the most excited to watch.
FEBRUARY 6
Pavements
Alex Ross Perry’s Pavements is a genre-defying cinematic portrait of the seminal American indie band, blending documentary, performance, re-enactment and musical spectacle into a playful and probing reflection on artistic legacy. Anchored around Pavement’s 2022 reunion tour, the film spirals into staged scenes, archival material and Broadway-style musical interludes drawn from the band’s discography.
Both affectionate and sharply self-aware, the film interrogates nostalgia, authenticity and cultural canonisation, capturing the band’s internal dynamics while reflecting on their enduring influence on alternative music culture.
François Ozon Spotlight (Special Collection)
A celebration of François Ozon’s prolific and playful career, marked by genre subversion, melodramatic experimentation and postmodern wit.
Includes: Sitcom, Under the Sand, 8 Women, Swimming Pool, 5×2, Summer of 85.
FEBRUARY 13
Internet Boyfriends (Special Collection)
A modern examination of stardom shaped by fandom, memes and digital obsession, where desire is amplified through screens and parasocial devotion.
Includes: Priscilla, Aftersun, Bring Them Down, Under the Silver Lake, The Mastermind, Die My Love.
Basic Instincts: A Paul Verhoeven Double Bill (Special Collection)
A provocation-charged pairing from Paul Verhoeven, where erotic spectacle collides with sharp social critique.

FEBRUARY 20
Being John Smith
A wry and deeply personal essay film from British avant-garde filmmaker John Smith, reflecting on the strange poetry of living with the most common name in the English-speaking world. Using family photographs, personal archives and deadpan narration, the film transforms autobiography into a quietly profound meditation on identity, legacy and self-doubt.
A Dream Longer Than the Night
A hallucinatory feminist fairytale from artist Niki de Saint Phalle, following Princess Camélia as she journeys through a surreal landscape of goblins, ghouls and symbolic trials after being magically aged into adulthood. Whimsical, audacious and defiantly political, the film dismantles gendered expectations through fantasy and satire.
Truly, Madly, Deeply (Special Collection)
A collection rejecting romance as comfort, instead exploring love as obsession, volatility and emotional combustion.
Includes: Portrait of a Lady on Fire (New), Millennium Mambo (New), Die My Love, Bergman Island, Lovers on the Bridge.
FEBRUARY 27
The Shrouds
David Cronenberg delivers an intimate and unsettling meditation on grief, technology and the terror of love that refuses to end. Vincent Cassel stars as a widower who invents a controversial technology allowing the living to monitor the bodies of their deceased loved ones — until grave desecrations force him to confront the emotional cost of his obsession.
Restrained body horror gives way to psychological exposure and moral unease, with Diane Kruger appearing in multiple incarnations that fracture memory, identity and longing.
Cinema by Any Means: Jafar Panahi Retrospective (Special Collection)
A retrospective of films made under censorship and restriction, turning limitation into creative resistance. Blurring documentary and fiction, Panahi’s work stands as an enduring act of humanistic defiance.
Includes: The White Balloon, The Circle, Offside, The Mirror, Crimson Gold, Closed Curtain, No Bears.
