Directed by Richard Linklater | France/USA | 2025 | 1h 46m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, Aubry Dullin, Adrien Rouyard, Bruno Dreyfürst

Paris, 1959. Young film critic Jean-Luc Godard is determined to make his first feature film. Defying convention, tight budgets, and sceptical producers, he and his collaborators spark a quiet revolution in cinema, capturing the restless energy of the era. In this affectionate and highly entertaining comedy-drama, American filmmaker Richard Linklater (The Before Trilogy, Boyhood) takes us behind the scenes of the making of Breathless, a defining work of the French New Wave.

Plan your visit

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!
