The Delinquents12A
A weary bank clerk hatches an intriguing scheme to make enough money to retire, involving stealing money from his employer and confessing to the crime. While doing a short stint in jail, a colleague will look after the spoils in a remote location with the promise of a 50/50 split. Argentina’s official entry for the 2024 Academy Awards, writer-director Rodrigo Moreno’s captivating and entirely unpredictable crime-drama unfolds as a farcical multi-layered comedy about greed and desire.
Reviews
‘If Pedro Almodóvar and Eric Rohmer teamed up to compose a meanderingly long heist movie it might look like this, but something in the film’s waywardness makes it very difficult to fit into the heist genre – or any genre.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
‘The Delinquents alternatingly dares the viewer to read it as a caper flick, a moral parable, a comedy of coincidences, and an existential probe.’
★★★★
Pat Brown, Slant Magazine

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 don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
