Tchaikovsky’s Wife15
In 19th century Russia, Antonina Miliukova is captivated by brilliant composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky from the very moment she first hears his music. Their eventual marriage, however, unfolds as a one-sided and profoundly unhappy union. As Pyotr endures misfortunes, breakdowns, and wrestles with his own sexuality, Antonina’s love transforms into single-minded obsession. A slow-burning historical melodrama, beautifully filmed by dissident theatre director Kirill Serebrennikov (recently released from his Putin-ordered house arrest).
Reviews
‘A bold and stylish work that slips in and out of fantasy and isn’t afraid to use music and sound design as a weapon’
Steve Pond, TheWrap
‘A visionary evocation of the heartbreak and sickness of a woman in love with a Russian icon who doesn’t love her back.’
Mark Asch, 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!
