Check out the list of movies, series and specials coming to MUBI in June 2026 below. In the comments section, let me know which ones you are the most excited to watch.
JUNE 1
Carol
Todd Haynes’ luminous adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s The Price of Salt remains one of modern queer cinema’s defining love stories, tracing a tender and emotionally charged relationship in 1950s New York through extraordinary performances from Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.
JUNE 5
Blue Is the Warmest Color
Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, Abdellatif Kechiche’s expansive and emotionally raw coming-of-age story explores identity, passion, heartbreak, and self-discovery with uncommon intimacy and intensity.
Fish Tank
Andrea Arnold’s breakthrough feature follows a volatile teenager navigating isolation, desire, and fractured family life on a British housing estate. Restless, compassionate, and anchored by Katie Jarvis’ remarkable debut performance.
Gloria
Sebastián Lelio’s bittersweet character study follows a divorced woman embracing romance, freedom, and reinvention within Santiago’s nightlife scene, elevated by Paulina García’s radiant, award-winning performance.
JUNE 12
Sirât
Oliver Laxe’s Sirât presents a hypnotic and immersive narrative set in the deserts of North Africa, chronicling a father and son’s search for their missing daughter following her disappearance at an underground rave in Morocco. As the protagonists move from one remote gathering to the next, their quest evolves into an exploration of spiritual, existential, and ultimately unknowable dimensions.
Situated within the dynamic context of desert rave culture, the film integrates electronic music, expansive landscapes, and minimalist storytelling to create an experience that exists between the physical and the metaphysical. Referencing the concept of “Sirât,” the bridge between worlds in Islamic eschatology, Laxe develops a cinematic language of movement, rhythm, and transcendence, allowing emotional truths to surface through gesture, sound, and atmosphere rather than explicit exposition.
Employing non-professional performers and a soundscape that blurs the distinction between music and environment, Sirât extends Laxe’s distinctive examination of faith, loss, and human vulnerability. Its premiere at Cannes further establishes Laxe as one of contemporary cinema’s most uncompromising auteurs.
JUNE 19
God Is Shy
Jocelyn Charles’ poised and formally inventive debut short film, God Is Shy, opens with an apparently innocent game in which two young passengers sketch their fears during a train journey. However, the dynamic shifts when a mysterious woman intervenes, transforming the encounter into increasingly unsettling, ambiguous territory.
By blending animation with psychological horror, the film transitions seamlessly between ordinary reality and the uncanny. It employs distorted perspectives, shifting textures, and expressive sound design to externalise emotional unease. Both humorous and unsettling, God Is Shy exhibits a notable mastery of tone and atmosphere within its concise runtime.
Premiering at Cannes Critics’ Week, the film establishes Jocelyn Charles as a significant emerging voice in innovative short-form cinema.
Crimes of the Future
David Cronenberg’s provocative return to body horror imagines a near future where surgery, performance art, and human evolution merge into disturbing new forms of expression. Starring Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux, and Kristen Stewart.

Jacques Tati Spotlight
Spotlight: June 5

Theater of the World: Ulrike Ottinger’s “Berlin” Trilogy
Spotlight: June 26

Blurring fantasy, satire, and political provocation, Ottinger’s cinema revels in collisions between the grotesque and the beautiful.
