Original language movies are traditionally very popular in Düsseldorf. Films available to expats are screened mostly in original with subtitles, known as OmU or Original mit Untertitel and without, portrayed as OV or Original Version in a number of movie theatres.
CineStar screens mainstream releases and blockbusters in original at their lively multiplex cinema. UCI Kinowelt generally shows a weekly movie. Filmkunstkinos show mainly art house films in original with subtitles in their cosy cinemas, while Filmwerkstatt often shows classics.
Many films produced in English are screened for several days and even a few weeks. Others unfortunately appear for just a day or two.
Enjoy watching original versions with subtitles in French, Spanish, Russian, Polish and other languages such as Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, Arabic. Keep your eye open for occasional specials at the Film Museum too.
