I Want Your Sex18

Directed by Gregg Araki | USA | 2025 | 1h 30m | Starring Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman, Johnny Knoxville, Margaret Cho, Charli XCX

Elliot’s dream job comes true when he’s hired by renowned artist and provocateur Erika Tracy. But Erika soon blurs the line between employer and lover, taking him on as her muse and subordinate. Their charged relationship pushes Elliot to question his own desires and boundaries as power shifts between them. Greg Araki brings his signature colourful, edgy style to this provocative comedy that blends satire, mystery, and murder.

Reviews

‘Araki’s silly, sexy, tongue-in-cheek skewering of cross-generational sexual attitudes is just as funny as it is thought-provoking.’
★★★★
Monica Castillo, The AV Club

‘The verbal and visual building blocks of Araki’s comedy — quick-witted one-liners, exuberant sex scenes, sartorial gags, garish décor — express a dazzling, totalizing sense of optimism. Hoffman’s lummoxy charisma fits right into this scheme.’
Justin Chang, The New Yorkers

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!
