The Nature of Love15
Sophie, a 40-year-old philosophy professor, has been in a stable yet somewhat passionless relationship for ten years. When she meets Sylvain, a craftsman renovating the couple’s new country house, there is an instant connection and a passionate affair ensues. As they get to know each other more deeply, Sophie begins to question her life choices and values. Sexy, sharp, and perceptive, French-Canadian director Monia Chokri’s romantic comedy offers a shrewd portrait of desire, fidelity, and social norms.
Reviews
‘Monia Chokri‘s brilliant feature is one of the sharpest cinematic examinations of the paradoxical expectations we place on our relationships in the 21st century.’
★★★★★
Christian Zilko, IndieWire
‘Chokri’s film is both sharp and sensual in its comedic exploration of f**king around and finding out.’
★★★★
Josh Slater-Williams, Little White Lies

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!
