Early SummerU
In postwar Tokyo, Noriko, still single at the age of 28, lives happily with her parents and her brother’s family. When Noriko’s peers begin applying pressure on her to marry, she impulsively chooses her childhood friend, causing conflict within the once stable household. A wonderfully poised and emotionally nuanced examination of life’s intricacies and contradictions across three different generations.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
