#MoviesOmU: Movies in English and other original foreign languages in Leipzig, August 11-19

Here’s our regular listing of films being shown in English and other original foreign languages (with labels such as OmU, OF and OV) at Leipzig cinemas for this movie week. We are now running the list each Tuesday. Although not dubbed, the movies often come with German subtitles, so you can still access the movie if you don’t know the original language but know some German. Ana is away this week, so here’s my pick: As part of the free movies on offer courtesy of GlobaLE, Wed night beginning at 8.00 offers us “The Square”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twB2zAOzsKE Cairo, January 2011: events in Tahrir Square forever change Eygyptian history.. After years of stagnation under Mubarak revolution, triggered euphoria in many, including Egyptian-American filmmaker Jehane Noujaim. For nearly three years she accompanied several various revolutionaries in the square: the Hollywood-proven British-Egyptian actor Khalid Abdalla, the Muslim Brotherhood Magdy Ashour, and the young worker Ahmed Hassan from the poor Shobra district. “The Square” documents the intense emotional drama and inspiring personal stories of people behind the news who are fighting for their rights and for a just society. “The Square”, Egypt 2013/108 min / Jehane Noujaim, Arabic with English subtitles followed by a talk with the activist Mohammad Okasha. Richard-Wagner-Hain, Jahnallee / Lützner Straße, 04177 Leipzig, Germany

Amy

I loved Amy Winehouse from the first time I heard her voice, which, incidentally, was on Stefan Raab. He had no idea what to do with her and asked really stupid questions. I went out and got her Frank album the next day and still play it to death.
