The integration is a further sign of our sustained growth in the UK market, and means we can offer even more people a way to watch great films for free. Our slate has an excellent and unique range of movies, which is structured around carefully curated themes. From art house, so edge of your seat thrillers, the Filmzie channel on Rakuten TV is designed to help introduce ‘new’ titles to curious audiences.”
