Curzon Canterbury

For the record, Screen 1 (downstairs) seats 66, while Screens 2 and 3 (upstairs) seat 88 and 66 respectively. The cinema is described in Curzon publicity as “bijoux boutique”, and that’s about right! All three screens are very comfortable and well equipped. However, ‘shoe-horning’ three screens into such a relatively small space was always going to be difficult, and the auditoriums do feel very cramped. I was fortunate that the film I saw – “The Imitation Game” – was in the largest screen and there were only a few other patrons for the early afternoon show. However, a larger attendance might well have led to problems with sight-lines – and sitting on the front row would, for me, be far too close.
