The Settlers15
A wealthy Chilean landowner enlists the services of three horsemen to safeguard his expansive estate. Among them are a reckless British soldier, an American mercenary, and a Chilean marksman named Segundo. As tensions escalate within the group, Segundo begins to realise their true mission: the violent eradication of the indigenous population. Felipe Gálvez Haberle’s award-winning anti-Western unfolds as a brutal narrative of colonialist violence set against the backdrop of early 20th-century South America. Winner of the Critics Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
Reviews
‘It’s a fierce, stark, almost primitive parable of cruelty and power.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
‘A heady, opaque western, slow to stir but vicious as a rattlesnake when it does.’
Jessica Kiang, Variety

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!
