Not getting your arthouse fix from Netflix? Wish there were more indie films on Amazon Prime? Every week, we round up the new releases on MUBI, a subscription VOD service that hand-picks films from around the world and adds one a day, with each film available to stream or download for a month. (Current titles include Tokyo Tribe and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.)

Here are the latest additions and future releases on MUBI:

Dancer in the Dark – Monday 20th July

La Notte – Tuesday 21st July

How do you follow L’Avventura? Michelangelo Antonioni found the answer with his 1961 film about a novelist and a wife trying to come to terms with their fading relationship.

Available until: 20th August

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind – Wednesday 22nd July

Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet are brilliant in this sci-fi romance about a guy who decides to get his ex-girlfriend erased from his memory – only to change his mind and fight against it. The only couple better suited for one another? Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman, whose mind-bending visuals and heartbreaking script belong together.

After years practically burning a hole in the screen with his intense performances, Peter Mullan turns his hand to directing with this 2002 drama, about four young girls in Ireland imprisoned in the Magdalene Asylums by the Catholic Church to atone for their sins. Winner of the Golden Lion at Venice and a BAFTA nominee for Best Screenplay, expect a scorching watch.
