About Dry Grasses15
Nestled in the wintry region of East Anatolia, public-school art teacher Samet dreams of escaping his sleepy village for the vibrant life of cosmopolitan Istanbul. However, his plans are thwarted when a student accuses him of inappropriate behaviour. The latest film by Turkish Palme d’Or winner Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, Winter Sleep) is a philosophical and novelistic character-driven exploration of self-interest and loneliness.
Reviews
‘Completely engrossing, consistently mind-expanding. Even those immune to marathon-length arthouse cinema should take a punt on this one.’
★★★★★
David Jenkins, Little White Lies
‘About Dry Grasses is as serious as you’d expect from Ceylan, but there’s also a self-reflective, playful angle to this one, and a seam of black humour that’s been missing from his recent films.’
★★★★
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

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!
