TÁR15

Directed by Todd Field | USA | 2022 | 2h 38m | Starring Cate Blanchett, Nina Hoss, Noémie Merlant, Sophie Kauer, Mark Strong

A renowned composer and conductor is at the height of her career. But just as she prepares for a highly anticipated live performance of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, her life begins to unravel in a singularly modern way. Cate Blanchett delivers an outstanding, award-winning performance in this searing examination of power, ego, and classical music. Nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress (Cate Blanchett).

Plan your visit

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!
