O Brother, Where Art Thou?12A
Rural Mississippi, 1937. Three convicts escape from a chain gang after hearing of hidden treasure, setting off on a wild quest for fortune. Along the way, they cross paths with musicians, politicians, and outlaws, while relentless lawmen stay hot on their trail. Loosely inspired by Homer’s The Odyssey, the Coen Brothers’ (Raising Arizona, Fargo, No Country for Old Men) screwball comedy offers a sharp, satirical portrait of the American South in the post-Depression era.
Reviews
‘Confidently cinematic in classical and modern terms, layered with subtleties but also a straight-ahead, crowd-pleasing comedy.’
★★★★★
Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
‘A thoroughly eclectic and always entertaining mix.’
★★★★ Ben Falk, BBC

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!
