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.

All movies in English with German subs unless otherwise stated.

New this week:

• Broadway Therapy (She’s Funny That Way)

• 1. The cast and crew of a Broadway play are thrown into a romantic roundelay when a lecherous director (Owen Wilson) hires a hooker-turned-actress (Imogen Poots) to star alongside his wife (Kathryn Hahn) and his wife’s ex-lover (Rhys Ifans).

• Gefühlt Mitte Zwanzig (While We’re Young)

  Middle-aged filmmaker Josh Srebnick (Ben Stiller) and his wife, Cornelia (Naomi Watts), are happily married, but stuck in a rut. So, when free-spirited couple Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby (Amanda Seyfried) enter their lives, it’s like a breath of fresh air — especially for Josh, who pines for a youth he wishes he had. Soon, Josh and Cornelia are ditching friends their own age to hang out with the hipsters — but whether the friendship can endure despite a 20-year age gap remains to be seen. (google)

Held over from last week:

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.
