Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World18
An overworked and underpaid production assistant Angela is assigned to film a workplace safety video for a multinational corporation in Bucharest. But when one of the interviewees makes a statement that ignites a scandal, a chaotic scramble to reshape the narrative ensues. A razor-sharp and anarchic satire on toxic work environments, social media, and contemporary living from award-winning Romanian filmmaker Radu Jude (Bad Luck Banging). Special Jury Prize winner at Locarno International Film Festival 2023.
Reviews
‘This is a raucously entertaining and provocative piece, its sociopolitical antennas acutely tuned to our present moment and twitching with comic fury.’
★★★★★
Jonathan Romney, The FT
‘This is a cinema of ideas, and the Romanian new wave is still reaching impressive crests.’
★★★★
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!
