Out Of The Past (35mm)PG
Small-town gas station owner Jeff Bailey’s past catches up with him when a mysterious figure from his shadowy former life reappears. As he’s drawn deeper into a web of betrayal and murder, Bailey’s dark secrets begin to unravel. Jacques Tourneur (Cat People, Night of the Demon) delivers a masterclass in atmospheric tension and moral ambiguity in this quintessential, hardboiled noir starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, and Kirk Douglas.

Reviews
‘One of the greatest of all film noirs.’
★★★★★
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
‘Each change of angle and shift of light evokes an inner disturbance; the actors seem to push through the dense shadow as through water, revealing fast people in slow motion’
Richard Brody, New Yorker

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 don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
