You Resemble Me15

Directed by Dina Amer | France | 2022 | 1h 30m | Arabic w/ English subtitles | Starring Mouna Soualem, Sabrina Ouazani, Lorenza Grimaudo, Ilonna Grimaudo

On the outskirts of Paris, two young sisters are abruptly separated by the authorities and taken into foster care. Years later, still pained by the loss of her younger sister, Hansa struggles to find her place in the world – until an old friend offers her hope of belonging. Cultural and intergenerational trauma erupt in this intimate story about family love, sisterhood, and the roots of radicalisation.

Reviews

‘Expertly blending fiction, news footage and interviews, this potent debut [is]…A strong, muscular, heartfelt film.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘This inspired-by-true-life story of crumbling identity and radicalisation is a powerful cry from the heart.’
★★★★
Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

Plan your visit

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!
