My MUBI Experience of 2017
by jdo-83065 | created - 21 Jul 2017 | updated - 07 Jan 2018 | PublicI'm challenging myself to watch 2, sometimes even 3 films a week using the MUBI service.
I pick a weeks' worth of films(7 from that current week) and I narrow it down to 2 or 3 that I want to watch for that week.
I've compiled this list of my experience of MUBI for the year of 2017 for you to look at.
Please feel free to comment!
