Possession18

Directed by Andrzej Zulawski | France/Germany | 1981 | 2h 7m | Starring Isabelle Adjani, Sam Neill, Margit Carstensen, Heinz Bennent, Johanna Hofer

Anna (Isabelle Adjani) leaves her family without explanation. Her husband Mark (Sam Neill) sets out to find the truth, first suspecting another man is involved. But he soon uncovers stranger behaviour and more bizarre incidents, signs of something far beyond an affair. Polish filmmaker Andrzej Żuławski’s psychological horror is surreal and hypnotic, banned on release in the UK, and powered by Adjani’s unhinged performance, which won her the best actress award at Cannes.

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!
