The Ice Tower15
In a remote, snow-covered mountain village, 15-year-old Jeanne escapes her orphanage and heads for the city, where she finds shelter in a film studio shooting a new adaptation of The Snow Queen. There, she becomes captivated by Cristina, the film’s enigmatic star, whose allure mirrors that of the icy queen she portrays. As their mutual fascination deepens, Jeanne’s presence on set grows more significant. With hazy 1970s-inspired visuals, a dizzying score, and Marion Cotillard’s magnetic performance, Lucile Hadžihalilović’s latest unfolds with dreamlike wonder.
Reviews
‘Dreamily strange it might be, this movie had me gripped with its two outstanding lead performances — from Marion Cotillard and newcomer Clara Pacini — and a clamorous musical score.’

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!
