SavagesPG

Directed by Claude Barras | France | 2024 | 1h 27m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Nicolas Buysse, Karim Barras, Babette De Coster, Benoît Poelvoorde, Gaël Faye

In the heart of Borneo, a young girl learns that her family home is at risk due to deforestation. Determined to protect the land she loves, her passion for the environment deepens, especially after she meets Oshi, an orphaned orangutang. Together, they explore the wonders and dangers of their threatened rainforest. From the creators of the Oscar-nominated My Life As a Courgette comes a heartfelt, stop-motion animated story that highlights the importance of conservation and connection with nature.

‘There’s real value in a family film that puts its characters before plot, gags and pop-culture references, and which explores it with such wit, sincerity and visual panache.’
★★★★
Dan Jolin, Time Out

‘A charming coming-of-age picture, certainly, but it’s also a film that directly engages with Indigenous rights and some of the more urgent environmental issues of the moment.’
Wendy Ide, Screen International

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!
