I’m Still Here15

Directed by Walter Salles | Brazil | 2024 | 2h 18m | Portuguese w/ English subtitles | Starring Fernanda Torres, Fernanda Montenegro, Selton Mellom, Valentina Herszage, Marjorie Estiano

In early 1970s Brazil, as a military dictatorship tightens its grip on the country, Eunice Paiva – a mother of five – is forced to rebuild her life when her husband is taken by the police and disappears without a trace. Based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s memoir, acclaimed director Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) makes a powerful return with this emotionally profound portrayal of a family struggling under an oppressive regime.

🏆 Winner of Best International Feature at the Academy Awards.

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!
