The Kingdom15
Corsica, summer 1995. Teenager Lesia is suddenly torn from her quiet life and taken to a secluded villa, where her estranged father, and fugitive mob boss, is in hiding. When an assassination attempt ignites a brutal cycle of revenge, father and daughter are forced on the run where they confront the secrets between them and test the true bond of their relationship. Blending coming-of-age drama with a tense crime thriller, Julien Colonna’s feature debut was nominated for the Un Certain Regard Award at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
Reviews
‘An intensely atmospheric, absorbing and exciting drama.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
‘Benedetti’s Lesia has a captivating blend of naivety and steel while Santucci tempers Pierre-Paul’s ruthlessness with a careworn humanity. The director, Colonna, is Corsican and knows the brutal world his film depicts, and its costs.’
★★★★
Ed Potton, The Times

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!
