Annette — the Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard-starrer musical from director Leos Carax — has become the latest Cannes Film Festival acquisition for the streaming service Mubi in India. Mubi announced Wednesday that Annette would be available November 26 on its platform in India, the UK, Ireland, and Latin America, following an early September theatrical opening in the UK.

Mubi costs Rs. 499 per month in India, or Rs. 3,588 annually. You can watch Mubi on Android, Android TV, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, LG, Samsung smart TVs, and on the Web. Here are all 10 titles Mubi bought at the 74th Cannes Film Festival for India:
