About

Meguro Cinema is a single-screen meigaza (second-run house) with about 100 seats, known for staff who dress up to match the films. Programmes change weekly and mix English-language and Japanese films, sometimes as themed double bills or all-night retrospectives. Time Out Tokyo and Metropolis both recommend it. Foreign films are normally screened in the original language with Japanese subtitles (look for 字幕 on the schedule, not 吹替 = dubbed); Japanese films are usually shown without English subtitles.
