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.
Purchase Veneer 20th Anniversary Remastered Deluxe Version HERE. The deluxe version of Veneer features newly remastered audio of the seminal album as well as a bonus disc, comprising 13 intimate recordings from his historic 2003 performance at Gothenburg Concert Hall.
Currently A Tiger in Paradise is screening as part of a unique special event tour; An Exclusive Evening with José Gonzalez. These special events consist of a screening of the film, followed by an intimate discussion with José and director Mikel Cee Karlsson as well as a live performance from José. An Exclusive Evening with José Gonzalez has just completed its U.S. leg and will head to Europe through December and January.
A Tiger in Paradise is produced by the multiple Academy Award nominated and Palme d’Or winning film company Plattform Produktion (Triangle of Sadness & The Square) and directed by José’s long time collaborator Mikel Cee Karlsson, who has directed many of José’s music videos as well as the 2010 film The Extraordinary Ordinary Life of José González.
