My Neighbour Totoro
THU 11.09. 20:15
A world without monsters and darkness – this was not only what cinema audiences longed for at the end of the 1980s. This Japanese anime film is full of magic and heart-warming vibes, banishing evil for an hour and a half. Two girls who have moved to the countryside because of their mother’s illness befriend Totoro, a furry creature with a cat’s face. Its superpower: it only reveals itself when it wants to.
JP 1988, 86 Min. OT となりのトトロ Director and Writer Hayao Miyazaki

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
FRI 12.09. 20:15
Call home! In the early 1980s, a stranded creature from outer space captured the hearts of viewers. Steven Spielberg’s film not only revolutionised science fiction cinema, but also delivered a timeless classic whose story continues to move audiences to this day: a boy and an alien become friends and move heaven and earth to ensure that E.T. returns to his home planet in time.
US 1982, 120 Min., Director Steven Spielberg Writer Melissa Mathison

The Intouchables
SAT 13.09 20:15
The bourgeois in a wheelchair and the ex-convict: a true story inspired the directing duo Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano to create their tragicomedy, which broke all records in France. Philippe (François Cluzet), a wealthy businessman who has been paralysed since an accident, is looking for a new carer – and finds Driss (Omar Sy). Two worlds collide. Rich meets poor, bitter meets energetic. Perfect conditions for ‘pretty much best friends’.

The First Wives Club
SUN 14.09. 20:15
Rarely has revenge been so sweet. And so funny. A female trio infernale consisting of Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton takes a funny punch at the male world. The reason: the husbands of the three women have sought younger companions for their midlife crises and dumped their former better halves. Now the sugar daddies are getting their comeuppance. And in a place where it hurts them most: their bank accounts.
US 1996, 103 Min. Director Hugh Wilson Writer Robert Harling
