Directed by Amanda Nell Eu | Malaysia | 2023 | 1h 35m | Malay w/ English subtitles | Starring Zafreen Zairizal, Deena Ezral, Piqa, Shaheizy Sam, June Lojong

In a small rural community in Malaysia, 12-year-old Zaffan considers herself the rebel among her classmates.

Amanda Nell Eu’s remarkable debut feature is an imaginative coming-of-age body horror, which won the Critics’ Week Grand Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

Reviews

‘A playful, imaginative approach to its metaphorical structure and its ultimate faith in human nature.’
★★★★
Elena Lazic, The Playlist

‘A wild coming-of-age horror fantasy pitched somewhere between the classic triumvirate of Carrie, Ginger Snaps and Raw.’
Alan Jones, Radio Times

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!
