‘A delight, and a film which cleverly picks apart the clichés of the timeworn artist biopic.’
★★★★
David Jenkins, Little White Lies

‘It is tremendously shot by Agnès Godard and the compassion of the film is palpable.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

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!
