Rear WindowPG

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock | USA | 1954 | 1h 54m | Starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey, Thelma Ritter

In the heart of New York City, a photographer is confined to his apartment due to a broken leg. With time on his hands, he begins to observe his neighbours through his rear window. What starts as innocent curiosity soon turns into an unsettling discovery when he becomes convinced that one of his neighbours has committed a heinous crime. A masterful display of high-tension storytelling that unfolds with intense suspense, bolstered by captivating chemistry between its two stars, James Stewart and Grace Kelly.

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!
