From Hilde, With Love15

Directed by Andreas Dresen | Germany | 2024 | 2h 5m | German w/ English subtitles | Starring Liv Lisa Fries, Johannes Hegemann, Lisa Wagner, Alexander Scheer, Emma Bading

In 1940s Berlin, Hilde joins the anti-Nazi resistance group known as the Red Orchestra and falls in love with fellow fighter Hans. Their bond deepens over a fleeting summer marked by quiet acts of defiance. But when a heavily pregnant Hilde is arrested by the Gestapo, she must summon unimaginable strength to face what lies ahead. Inspired by an extraordinary true story, Andreas Dresen’s deeply humanistic film is a moving portrait of love, resistance, and resilience in the face of oppression.

Reviews

‘The guttural connection between Hilde and Hans takes precedence over their revolutionary acts in a film that tacitly acknowledges the symbolic, rather than practical, achievements of Red Orchestra.’
★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times

‘Liv Lisa Fries gives an outstanding performance in this heartwrenchingly powerful true story’
★★★★
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!
