Miroirs No. 315

Directed by Christian Petzold | Germany | 2025 | 1h 26m | German w/ English subtitles

On a weekend trip to the countryside, a young piano student miraculously survives a car crash. Though physically unharmed, she is left deeply shaken. Taken in by a local woman who witnessed the accident, she is cared for with an intense, almost maternal devotion. But as their bond deepens, questions begin to surface, and neither can ignore the shadows of their past. A haunting and psychologically complex drama, Miroirs No. 3 stars award-winning actress Laura Beer and is directed by the acclaimed German filmmaker Christian Petzold (Transit, Phoenix).

Reviews

‘Petzold likes to maintain a certain critical distance onscreen, but, oh, how beautifully he can move you to tears.’

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!
