Between Osgood Perkins’s dark thriller Longlegs (showing from Friday 9th August) and Wei Shujun’s gritty neo-noir Only the River Flows (showing from Friday 30th August), the detective crime drama is clearly having a moment!

A serial killer in Berlin becomes the target of an intense police manhunt. Fritz Lang’s landmark film propelled German cinema into the sound era, establishing a blueprint for psychological thrillers that remains influential to this day.
Based on the true story of South Korea’s first documented serial killer, Oscar-winner Bong Joon Ho’s (Parasite) breakthrough second feature subverts the typical police procedural, delivering a gripping and darkly comedic thriller.
The sheriff of a Texan border town investigates a decades-old murder after discovering the skeleton of his predecessor. John Sayles’ gripping neo-western challenges national myths while moving between the past and the present.
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!
