Cyrano12A

Directed by Joe Wright | UK/USA | 2021 | 2h 3m | Starring Peter Dinklage, Haley Bennett, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Ben Mendelsohn

In 17th-century Paris, celebrated poet Cyrano de Bergerac dazzles crowds with his brilliant wit and expert swordplay. However, while he longs for the affection of his childhood friend Roxanne, he is too insecure to make his true feelings known. When Roxanne falls in love with handsome solider Christian, Cyrano helps him write love letters sure to win her heart. Peter Dinklage delivers a charismatic lead performance in this irresistible musical romance from British director Joe Wight (Pride and Prejudice, Atonement).

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!
