MUBI, the global streaming service, film distributor, and production company, has released today the new official trailer and artwork for Mikel Cee Karlsson’s (editor of Palme d’Or winner Triangle of Sadness) A Tiger in Paradise, about internationally-acclaimed musician José González. A Tiger in Paradise will stream exclusively on MUBI in North America, UK/IE and Latin America from December 8th 2023, following its world premiere earlier this year at CPH:DOX, where it played in the main competition and received a standing ovation.
José González has experienced several psychotic episodes in his life–a state in which he could not separate fantasy from reality. Having recently become a father, he is determined never to return to those haunting depths again.
Drawing from his background in biochemistry, he has meticulously built his life around this commitment, using science and reason to adhere to strict routines. But, while composing the lyrics for his new album, he keeps coming back to one central theme: what is actually real, and what is created in our minds?
A Tiger in Paradise is a surreal journey into musician José González’s inner world of thoughts and shadows. Staged with dark humor in the picturesque Swedish countryside.
A Tiger in Paradise follows a busy time creatively for José, following the celebrated release of his most recent studio album, Local Valley as well as celebrating the 20th anniversary of his game-changing debut album, Veneer, which is out now via Mute.
