The Crime Is Mine15

Directed by François Ozon | France | 2023 | 1h 43m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Rebecca Marder, Isabelle Huppert, Fabrice Luchini, Dany Boon, André Dussollier

Young, penniless, and hungry for fame, a struggling actress living in 1930s Paris is accused of murdering a famous film producer. As the court case spirals into a media circus, a different kind of notoriety beckons. Directed by acclaimed François Ozon (Summer of 85, 8 Women), this farcical French crime-comedy features a stellar supporting cast of supporting actors, including Isabelle Huppert, Dany Boon, and Fabrice Luchini.

Reviews

‘The film touches on cancel culture, echo chambers and filter bubbles. But it’s also primarily, and fabulously, silly.’
★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times

‘Ozon, as ever, is not just having fun. He is also making mischief with the sexual politics of the plot.’
Anthony Lane, New Yorker

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!
