Megalopolis15
In the fictional American city of New Rome, visionary artist Cesar Catilina strives to lead humanity toward a utopian future, but faces resistance from the city’s mayor, who clings to a regressive status quo. Caught in the middle is the mayor’s daughter, who falls in love with Cesar, placing herself at the heart of a sweeping conflict between cynicism and idealism. Forty years in the making, legendary director Francis Ford Coppola’s (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) fantastical blend of political drama, philosophical sci-fi, and star-crossed romance finally comes to the big screen.
Reviews
‘Ignore the haters – this is the kaleidoscopic, enriching, Wellsian vision of a grand old master with nothing to lose…Feels like being at the vanguard of something scintillating, absurd and violently original.’
★★★★
David Jenkins, Little White Lies
‘With Megalopolis, [Coppola] crams 85 years worth of artistic reverence and romantic love into a clunky, garish, and transcendently sincere manifesto about the role of an artist at the end of an empire.’
★★★★
David Ehrlich, IndieWire

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!
