Advance tickets now available for the encore screenings of The Duke!

In 1961, a 60 year old taxi driver stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. What happened next became the stuff of legend.

Palic Film Festival: Best Film nominee!

97% Certified Fresh! “A sweet swan song for director Roger Michell, The Duke offers a well-acted and engaging dramatization of an entertainingly improbable true story.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

5 Stars! “Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren shine. This small, droll, perfect film channels the spirit of Ealing comedies” (The Times UK)

5 Stars! “A never-better Jim Broadbent stars in this wonderful underdog drama…hilarious, rousing and wonderfully old-fashioned” (The Express UK)

5 Stars! “a new feelgood classic…a delight. At its heart is a towering, defining performance from Jim Broadbent and an unforgettably surprising role for Helen Mirren.” (The Arts Desk)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
