Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (35mm presentation)U
The peaceful life of a naïve country man is turned upside down when he falls for a seductive woman from the city. Together, they devise a scheme to break up his otherwise serene marriage, but a sudden change of heart prompts the husband to seek reconciliation and forgiveness. German director F.W. Murnau, a leading figure in the early years of European cinema, brought his expressionistic style to Hollywood with this stunningly staged romance. Despite its initial failure upon release, the film has since been recognised as one of the great masterpieces of cinema’s silent era.
Our screening on Monday 15th April will be a 35mm film presentation. As a result our ticket prices are slightly higher.
Reviews
‘It’s a love story that’s more than just a tale of broken hearts and damp hankies. It’s also a landmark in the history of cinema that turns melodrama into high art.’
★★★★★
Jamie Russell, BBC
‘This is pure cinema: emotionally uplifting, utterly absorbing, sublimely refreshing.’
★★★★★
Tony Sloman, 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 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!
