Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia18
A piano player in a Mexican bar gets himself involved in the manhunt for Alfredo Garcia, a man with a million-dollar price-tag on his head. Sensing a easy payday, learning that the target may already be dead, he sets off with his girlfriend on a tequila-fueled trek across the Mexican frontier to retrieve the head of Alfredo Garcia. During a career that was blighted by studio interference, director Sam Peckinpah would go on to say that this fatalistic neo-Western was the only film that ended up exactly as he wanted – a brutal and stark portrayal of desperation.
Reviews
‘The movie is some kind of bizarre masterpiece. It’s probably not a movie that most people would like, but violence, with Peckinpah, sometimes becomes a psychic ballet.’
★★★★
Roger Ebert

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!
