The Lost King12A

Directed by Stephen Frears | UK | 2021 | 1h 48m | Starring Sally Hawkins, Steve Coogan, Harry Lloyd, Lee Ingleby, Jessica Hardwick

Sally Hawkins stars as an amateur historian who defied the stodgy academic establishment in her efforts to find the remains of King Richard III, which were lost for over 500 years. Screenwriters Steve Coogan teams up again with director Stephen Frears (Philomena) for this uplifting, re-telling of a true story which reshaped our understanding British history.

Reviews

‘A warm, wryly amusing account of a real-life story, a crowd-pleasing portrait of the kind of enthusiastic amateur who proves enduringly popular with British cinema’
Wendy Ide, Screen International

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!
