Lynch/Oz15

Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe | USA | 2022 | 1h 49m

Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not on Mulholland Drive anymore! The Wizard of Oz is one of the most enduring obsessions of American filmmaker David Lynch. This documentary takes us down the proverbial rabbit hole, drawing fascinating parallels re-interpreting Victor Fleming’s 1939 family classic by way of David Lynch, revealing a whole new appreciation for Lynch’s surreal symbolism through the lens of his greatest influence.

Join us on New Year’s Eve and again on Monday Bank Holiday (2nd January) when we’ll be showing The Wizard of Oz as well as David Lynch’s nightmarish road-movie from 1990 Wild At Heart. Use the link underneath to get tickets for both. 

Sorry - you missed it!

We showed Lynch/Oz between December 31, 2022 and January 2, 2023.

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!
