Kinoteka On Tour 2026: Innocent Sorcerers12A

Directed by Andrzej Wajda | Poland | 1960 | 1h 26m | Polish w/ English subtitles | Starring Tadeusz Lomnicki, Krystyna Stypulkowska, Wanda Koczeska, Kalina Jedrusik, Zbigniew Cybulski

Following his lauded war trilogy, Wajda turned his camera on Poland’s socially modern but politically disengaged post-war generation. When hipster doctor Bazyli meets out-of-towner Pelagia in a nightclub, they spend a night in his flat flirting to the jazz tunes of Krzysztof Komeda. Embracing a style similar to the contemporaneous French New Wave, this is a vivid portrait of disillusioned youth.

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!
