You won’t believe the news we just heard from Cannes! Big news! Mubi, the platform we all love for cool films, just made a massive move. They officially scooped up the North American rights for Lukas Dhont’s new film, ‘Coward’.
This isn’t just any film. It’s a queer romantic drama by Lukas Dhont, a name you might know. ‘Coward’ was already getting major buzz in the competition. Everyone was talking about it.
And for good reason! This film earned one of the longest standing ovations at Cannes this year. Imagine the scene, the lights coming up, the crowd just erupting in applause. The whole vibe of that moment must have been electric, a real visual feast for the soul as the story resonated so deeply.
This is actually a super smart play for Mubi. They already had a head start, having bought the film for international territories earlier. Now, they’ve got it all stitched up for North America too.
Our Take
This feels like a huge win for Mubi. They clearly believe in ‘Coward’ and its story. Getting those North American rights after securing international ones shows they’re all-in. We think this film is going to make waves. Get ready to see ‘Coward’ everywhere soon!
