Pillion18
Colin, a quiet and unassuming traffic warden who still lives with his parents in Bromley, finds his world turned upside down when he’s drawn into an unexpected BDSM relationship with a towering, leather-clad biker. As he navigates this intense new dynamic, Colin discovers both the pleasures and the pains of love, and begins to understand his own desires and boundaries. Harry Lighton’s feature debut is a bold, funny, and surprisingly tender sub-dom-rom-com starring Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård.
Pillion is showing on Saturday 16th May as part of a double-feature with Peter Strickland’s The Duke of Burgundy. Purchase tickets to both screenings (in a single transaction) and receive a 20% discount on the total cost.
Reviews
‘Pillion is a wonderful film that’s heavy with purpose… All that and it’s also very, very hot.’
★★★★★
Leonie Cooper, Time Out
‘It’s knotty stuff for a first film but Lighton finds a delicate balance between disturbing, funny, sweet and sad.’
★★★★
Ed Potton, The Times

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!
