The Oxford Murders
Premieres Wednesday, August 4th at 8:00pm, followed by encore presentations at 10:00pm and 12:00am
Starring: Elijah Wood, John Hurt, Leonor Watling
Directed by: Alex de la lglesia
An elderly woman is murdered in Oxford. Her body is discovered by Arthur Seldom (John Hurt), a prestigious professor of
logic, and Martin (Elijah Wood), a young graduate student who has just arrived at the university hoping to study with
Professor Seldom.
It quickly becomes clear that this is the first in a series of murders, all of which are announced by the murderer with strange
symbols. Professor Seldom and Martin join forces to try and crack the code, and thus begins an elaborate puzzle, in which
nothing is at it seems and the truth is elusive.
As Martin gets closer to the facts, he feels increasingly insecure with his grasp on the world around him. Based on Guillermo
Martinez’s award-winning novel.
