We're obsessed with work and we're obsessed with film. Even in the summer.
The film club takes a break over the summer and the cinema shuttles between the air-conditioned cinema and the open-air summer atrium. Our dramaturgy team doesn't slack off either. We are literally obsessed with selecting the best films for summer evenings. And that's the theme of this summer's Telegraph Cinema line-up.
You'll see for yourself if you can be as obsessed as the main characters in the films you see with us. Every other Friday, when it's not Rooftop Fun. We've selected the best of legends and modern cult films. Just take your pick:
Fri 4 7 2025 9:00 pmANORA
The youngest Oscar winner and Cannes winner. The story of how a determined stripper clings to the son of a Russian oligarch will completely engross you. Sean Baker's American tragicomedy smashed cinemas and you'll really appreciate it under the stars. Anora (Mikey Madison - Oscar for Best Actress), a young sex worker from Brooklyn, is given the chance to live out the Cinderella story, but once the news reaches Russia, the continuation of her fairy tale story is thrown into jeopardy as her parents head to New York to have the marriage annulled.
Fri 7/18/2025 9:00 PM PSYCHO
Having a mother motel all your life takes commitment. Norman Bates could tell you. A young woman embezzles a large sum of money from her employer and flees to a new life with her lover. On the run, she stops at a lonely motel... Hitchcock's now legendary PSYCHO is rightfully one of the gems of world cinema.
Fri 1 8 2025 GUNS / RESERVOIR DOGS
Let's go to work. Quentin Tarantino's debut is a testament to professionalism. A lush soundtrack-laden gangster film shows crime from the perspective of professionals among whom a rat has infiltrated. How long will it be before they pull out their guns and the drama turns to carnage?
Fri 15 Aug 2025 DAVEL WEARS PRADA / DEVIL WEARS PRADA
You just have to give it your all..! Who doesn't know the cult romantic comedy starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep about a New York secretary at the mercy of the most powerful woman in the world of contemporary fashion. A comedy that has overcome the ravages of time and may well be due for its next sequel soon will return to the big screen for one night only.
Fri 29 Aug 2025 FOUR ROOMS
Four hotel rooms, four stories and one receptionist just trying to do his job. The short story film FOUR ROOMS is the work of four directors who have recently become the most celebrated exponents of American independent cinema. The filmmakers shot four episodic stories set on New Year's Eve in the rooms of a Los Angeles hotel. Each story (and room) involves a newly minted hotel valet, Ted (Tim Roth). With fateful intransigence, the young man becomes an important player in a variety of strange and even bizarre events. Each of the directors wrote the script for their episode and, of course, applied their own poetics in the execution. The result is a highly eclectic spectacle in which different styles and genres alternate without much complementary effect. Robert Rodriguez's anecdote in particular stands out for its cinematic flair and imaginative approach. Because of the film's vague and undefined concept from the start, not even a number of well-known and famous actors can save the film artistically.
Well, if it rains, we'll go inside the cinema. Nothing can stop these screenings, come on in.
