Plainclothes15
Each day, undercover officer Lucas patrols a suburban shopping mall, entrapping gay men under the guise of law enforcement. But when he meets the charming Andrew, his certainty begins to fracture. Tom Blyth and Russell Tovey lead a Sundance prize–winning ensemble in Carmen Emmi’s taut psychodrama, a powerful portrait of repression and desire in the shadows of surveillance.
Reviews
‘A moving story told with sensitivity and beautifully acted by the two leads.’
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
‘Tovey gives a smartly understated performance, Andrew’s calmness simultaneously bringing a stability lacking in Lucas’s life while suggesting an enigmatic, unknowable edge to his character.’
Alex Davidson, BFI Sight & Sound Magazine

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!
