As he and his family start to enjoy a better life, others begin to look for the missing case. Based on a novel by Georges Simenon and starring Tilda Swinton, Béla Tarr’s gripping crime-noir explores desire, the longing for freedom, and dreams of happiness that may never come true.

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!
