The Phoenician Scheme15
Zsa-Zsa Korda, a fabulously wealthy businessman and one of the richest men in Europe, names his only daughter – a devout nun – as the sole heir to his vast estate. But as Korda launches a mysterious new venture, the eccentric pair find themselves caught in the crosshairs of ruthless tycoons, foreign terrorists, and relentless assassins. A darkly humorous tale of family ties, brought to life by visionary director Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Royal Tenenbaums) and an all-star ensemble cast, including Michael Cera, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed and Jeffrey Wright.
Reviews
‘As the caper crashes by at breakneck speed, Anderson seems to be asking you to simultaneously sit up straight and bask at a let-it-wash-over-you angle – I often felt as if I was watching the film twice at once.’
★★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
‘An absolute gas; one of his funniest, most madcap adventures yet. As always with Anderson, a perfect climactic gracenote lends an edge of melancholy.’
★★★★★
David Jenkins, 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 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!
