Moonage Daydream15

Directed by Brett Morgan | Germany/USA | 2022 | 2h 15m

A cinematic odyssey exploring David Bowie’s creative, spiritual, and musical journey featuring never-before-seen footage and performances spanning his 54-year career. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Brett Morgen weaves, blends, and manipulates archival footage of Bowie to present a kaleidoscopic portrait of one of the 20th-century’s most iconic artists.

Reviews

‘Whatever your favourite side to the limitlessly faceted David Bowie, this magnificently mind-bending film serves it up in a 140-minute career-spanning opus that races by in a snap of the fingers. It’s almost as extraordinary as the man himself.’
★★★★★
Phil de Semlyen, Time Out

‘Moonage Daydream, a wildly creative tribute to everything Bowie achieved over four and a half decades, sets a sky-high bar as cinematic fan-service, and it leaves you buzzing.’
★★★★★
Tim Robey, The Telegraph

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!
