Blue Moon15

Directed by Richard Linklater | USA | 2025 | 1h 40m | Starring Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, Andrew Scott, Bobby Cannavale, Patrick Kennedy

On the evening of 31st March 1943, legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart wrestles with his fragile self-confidence at Sardi’s bar, as his former collaborator Richard Rodgers celebrates the opening night of his groundbreaking musical Oklahoma!. As flowers and accolades pour into the restaurant, heralding a new era of American musicals, Hart holds court at the bar for anyone willing to listen. Staged in real time, Ethan Hawke delivers a charming, lived-in performance in Richard Linklater’s (Before Trilogy, Boyhood) bittersweet meditation on love, art, and legacy.

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!
