Traveler reviews
Aleksandra Tsarkova
★★★★★4 months agoThe best movie theater in Bdx!! Art house, festival movies and retrospectives are shown on the regular. Only in original form. If you want to truly enjoy the movie going experience- that's the place to go! And they have a nice bar with snacks.
John Abrahamson
★★★★★11 months agoThis place is great! French cinema in the middle.of Bordeaux with drinks and food. The staff was super friendly, and the building itself has lots of character. I like that they have magazines/brochures listing all the movies/schedules for the month.
