Disco Boy15
Following a challenging journey across Europe, Aleksei, an undocumented Belarusian migrant, reaches Paris and joins the Foreign Legion with the aim of obtaining French citizenship. His narrative intertwines with that of Jomo, a guerrilla fighter in the Niger Delta who also dreams of becoming a disco dancer. Lead actor Franz Rogowski (Transit, Passages) brings a compelling and unpredictable energy to Giacomo Abbruzzese’s visually stunning and dreamlike debut.
Reviews
‘While the plot itself is a little nebulous, the atmosphere that Abbruzzese creates, through a hypnotic, pulsing electronic score and Rogowski’s febrile presence, is unnerving and intense.’
★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer
‘This is bold film-making: a movie that wants to dazzle you with its standalone setpieces, but also to carry you along with its storytelling.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Plan your visit
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!
