The Cremator15
In 1930s Prague, a crematorium manager becomes obsessed with the idea that death is the only true escape from human suffering. When the Nazis recruit him, his warped beliefs spiral into madness, leading him to devise his own chilling “final solution.” Czechoslovak New Wave visionary Juraj Herz blends surrealist horror, expressionist political allegory, and dark satire in this haunting portrait of fascist terror.
Our screening on Sunday 11th May features an in-person introduction by Ally Pitts, host of A Russian & Soviet Movie Podcast (since 2017).

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 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!
