"We are five cinemas across London, specialising in arthouse and independent film. Join us for exclusive events and the best in world cinema." - Curzon
Here are my reasons:
They play amazing films. All the films I have seen there have been great, even though the genre has varied. They play lots of art films and independent films, along with the more special films coming from bigger producers. They also have question and answer sessions with many people involved with the making of the films, and show selected series of documentaries.
It is small, or smaller than your average cinema. This makes it have a cozy and homely feeling to it, you can go in and enjoy the warm colours of the rooms and feel like you are watching a movie at home with your family, just on a much bigger screen. The upstairs area is a bar, serving the small foods and drinks, and downstairs there are lots of sofas, on which you can enjoy wine or beers with your friends, waiting for the movies, or discussing them before or after you've seen them.
To add to the cozy feeling of the cinema, everyone is friendly. The people working there are very nice and helpful, giving you top service, but without the unauthentic feel.
The food. I love the food, the sandwiches and cakes are delicious. They also have frozen yoghurts and ice cream from smaller producers. It is something else being able to eat delicious cakes whilst watching a movie, instead of just loading up on lots of candy.
The drinks. They serve beer and wine that you can bring into the cinema. In my opinion this is amazing, as adults don't always feel like having soda and candy when in the cinema, but might enjoy, especially during more serious or more meaningful and artistic films, a glass of wine, or a cold beer.
The next film I will be seeing at the Curzon in Soho is Lars von Trier's Melancholia. I look forward to enjoying the film with some beer, or maybe even some wine, who knows?
