Bank Robbery Weekend: Bonnie And ClydeUSA

During the Great Depression, bored waitress Bonnie Parker falls for ex-con Clyde Barrow, and together they set off on a cross-country crime spree. Their crimes escalate quickly, from petty theft to armed bank robbery, and the pressure begins to fracture both their relationship and their gang.

‘Bonnie and Clyde is the most excitingly American American movie since The Manchurian Candidate. The audience is alive to it.’

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!
