Red Rooms18

Directed by Pascal Plante | Canada | 2023 | 1h 58m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Juliette Gariépy, Laurie Babin, Maxwell McCabe-Lokos, Dominique Côté, Elisabeth Locas

Obsessed with the trial of a suspected serial killer, a young woman becomes increasingly entangled in the dark, digital undercurrents surrounding his crimes. Pascal Plante’s Red Rooms is a chilling, meticulously controlled study of voyeurism, online extremity, and the seductive pull of violence. Coolly executed and deeply unnerving, it reflects a contemporary anxiety about spectatorship in the internet age.

Reviews

‘It’s rare to feel the tension built inside a theater to the point where everyone is holding their breath, but Red Room is a unique movie that defies expectations and keeps pulling the audience deeper into the dark abysm of human nature.’
★★★★★ Marco Vito Oddo, Collider

‘Red Rooms is a striking and austere examination of the true-crime industrial complex that benefits from its formality and disturbingly removed protagonist’
★★★★ Hannah Strong, Little White Lies

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!
