The Remains of the DayU
In 1930s Britain, the meticulously ordered life of a rule-bound head butler is disrupted by the arrival of a housekeeper who develops feelings for him. The potential for romance, coupled with his master’s troubling association with the Nazi cause, tests the butler’s rigid commitment to duty. This elegantly crafted adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Booker Prize-winning novel features outstanding performances from Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson, capturing the subtlety and restraint of unspoken emotions.
Reviews
‘Looks grand without being overdressed, it is full of feeling without being sentimental.’
Vincent Canby, The New York Times
‘A classically polished drama about repressed emotions, self delusion and protracted heartbreak, this Merchant/Ivory movie is one of the most affecting experiences of the year.’
Desson Thomson, Washington Post

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!
