Happyend12A
In a near-future Tokyo overshadowed by the threat of a catastrophic earthquake, two mischievous best friends are on the cusp of graduating high school. One night, a daring prank on their Principal sparks the installation of a relentless 24/7 surveillance system. As security tightens and the nation’s political climate darkens, their world is upended. Following his moving concert film Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus, Neo Sora’s fictional debut delivers a bold, allegorical coming-of-age story, brimming with raw energy and a youthful spirit of resistance.
Reviews
‘The movie never loses sight of the personal, involving us from the start in the experiences of Yuta, Kou and their friends, while bringing a light yet lingering touch to larger fears affecting all of us.’
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
‘A crisp and understated piece… And the charismatic young cast brings a lively, impromptu-feeling organic energy.’
Jonathan Romney, Screen International

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!
