Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the BombPG
An unstable American general orders a bombing attack on the Soviet Union, setting off a chain of events that could lead to nuclear catastrophe. In a frantic attempt to avert disaster, a war room filled with politicians and generals springs into action. In a remarkable display of versatility, Peter Sellers plays three distinctly different characters in Stanley Kubrick’s darkly comedic examination of Cold War paranoia that stands as one of Hollywood’s most biting satires on human folly.
One-off screening presented by Daily Info, celebrating their 60th birthday!
Reviews
‘Age has not withered that final queasy nightmare of the mushroom clouds, set to Vera Lynn’s hopeful We’ll Meet Again – underscoring how the certainties of the second world war ceased to hold their meaning in the nuclear age.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
‘By a whopping margin, this is Kubrick’s most radical film and greatest dramatic gamble.’
★★★★★
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out

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 don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
