The Lady From ShanghaiPG
Irish sailor Michael O’Hara is lured into a twisted plot of murder and deceit by the captivating Elsa Bannister and her conniving husband. As O’Hara becomes further entangled in their deadly game, the boundaries between loyalty and betrayal begin to blur. Orson Welles’ (Citizen Kane, Touch of Evil) visually stunning noir is a cinematic masterpiece, celebrated for its groundbreaking camerawork, dreamlike atmosphere, and Rita Hayworth’s unforgettable performance.
Reviews
‘A magnificent mess of switchbacks and revelations, climaxing with one of cinema’s most outrageously inventive sequences.’
★★★★★
Tom Huddlestone, Time Out
‘The film is as tangled and ingenious as any of Welles’s conjuring tricks. The shoot-out in the hall of mirrors is the most famous sequence, but there are other moments just as memorable.’
★★★★★
Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent

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!
