Original Version Theaters
Jennifer Shaeffer
Are you tired of travelling and touring all over the place? Feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation? Being in another country and trying to get accustomed to a foreign language can be exhausting, and sometimes it's nice to just relax and enjoy a low maintenance night out at the movies.
The good news is, if your Spanish is rusty, and you're not ready to sit down and attempt the full comprehension of a Spanish film, Madrid offers a variety of theatres that feature original version movies. In other words, none of this dubbed over stuff, but actual films in their original language version with subtitles offered in a variety of languages. These theatres offer quality films from all over the world, subtitled in various languages (frequently English). Original version cinema allows non-native speakers to embrace foreign film culture without requiring fluency in languages.
The information below should meet your needs and assist you in finding an appropriate theatre to enjoy (and comprehend) the film of your choice. (As films change on a weekly basis, check www.queponen.com,for specific featured films that are currently playing in these theatres).
