The action film Interceptor will turn your cozy night into an adventurous one. As interceptor is the last line of defense, it is the Spanish actress Elsa Pataky—who plays Collins—who will save the day. Did you know, that it took the actress four months of training to learn all the moves for the film? (Curious if it was worth it!)

3. Hollywood Stargirl

This sequel to the film Stargirl that came out in 2020 is a teen drama by American filmmaker Julia Hart. Hollywood Stargirl Susan will know fame and success when she moves to LA. Fun fact: the actress who plays Susan wrote the song in the film “Figure it out” herself.

7. Pleasure

This Swedish film Pleasure is a unique and pure portrait of the men’s world of porn, through the eyes of a woman. The main character Bella realizes that it isn’t that easy (or fun) to become a pornstar in LA. Pleasure won an Award at the 48th edition of Film Fest in Ghent.

9. A Chiara

This Italian film A Chiara is one of three. Italian American director Jonas Carpignano highlighted the refugees and the Roma in Calabria. With this third, and last film, he made a portrait of a girl who discovers the double life of her father. “I went there for a short film about race riots, but when I got there, I knew there were more stories to tell,” tells Jonas Carpignano in an interview with Film Fest Ghent.

‘A Chiara’ is coming to Mubi on June 23. 

10. Elvis

The title speaks for itself, this film is a biographical musical about the life of singer Elvis Presley. Elvis is played by American actor Austin Butler. Also, the music is made by amazing singers like Doja Cat, who is singing the song “Vegas” and Måneskin who covers “If I Can Dream”. (For the people who doubt that Austin Butler really sings, the answer is yes!)
