Annette15

Dir. Leos Carax | France | 2021 | 2h 21m | Starring Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, Simon Helberg

A seemingly perfect couple—a provocative stand-up comedian and internationally renowned opera singer—live glamorous lives in contemporary LA. However, their lives are turned upside down with the birth of their first child, a curious little girl with mysterious gifts. A spectacularly audacious rock opera by visionary director Leos Carax (Holy Motors), featuring original music by art-rock duo Sparks.

Reviews

‘Beautiful, sensual, startling, operatically crackers…Both Cotillard and Driver are fearlessly committed, but Annette is the kind of film where going all-in is the only option.’ ★★★★★ Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

 

‘Annette is a forthright and declamatory and crazy spectacle, teetering over the cliff edge of its own nervous breakdown, demanding that we feel its pain, feel its pleasure’ ★★★★ 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 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!
