Amour12A

Directed by Michael Haneke | Austria/France/Germany | 2012 | 2h 7m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva, Isabelle Huppert, William Shimell, Rita Blanco

Georges and Anne, a retired couple who spent their lives as devoted music teachers, now face their most difficult test. When Anne suffers a debilitating stroke, their once full and vibrant world begins to close in. As her health declines, their deep bond is put under immense strain. Directed by Michael Haneke, this powerful, unflinching portrayal of love, aging, and responsibility earned him his second Palme d’Or. Sensitive and sincere, it’s a story told with quiet honesty and emotional depth.

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

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!
