When visiting Frogner Kino, you will feel like wandering into a celluloid fantasy. Since its opening in 1926, the cinema has witnessed many transformations. However, in 2019 it returned to its original glory with art deco interiors and red velvet curtains. This intimate cinema offers a wide range of screenings, from the latest blockbusters to timeless masterpieces. There, you can discover Norwegian films, foreign films, cult classics, regular 35mm screenings and family matinees. They also regularly organize special film events.
Frogner Kino is in the charming Frogner district, renowned for its luxury shopping, cafes, and restaurants. Not far away lies another historical and unique cinema, Gimle Kino.
As I live nearby, I have been to Frogner Kino several times. Not only to watch a film but sometimes just for a glass of wine. In addition to the cinema, they also have a delightful dining spot called Punchbollen, where they serve wine, beer, bubbles, homemade cakes and popcorn that can be enjoyed before, after or during the screening. The seating area, with a capacity of 256 seats, features small tables for your convenience.
The cinema hall has been designed to resemble an ancient Greek courtyard with its hand-painted mural of the Acropolis and romantic marble friezes by Per Krohg. In the ceiling is a beautiful fresco depicting an open starry night. The cinema's stunning interiors set the stage for experiencing real movie magic.
