+ cine?
Are you a cinema addicted? A commedy fan, a drama lover? Do you
go for low budget indipendent movies or for big blockbuster ones?
No matter what preferences do you have, in Rome
you will find al little bit of everything. If you are used to go
o the movies almost every week when you're at home, why should you
give up this habit while you're abroad? Especially here, where the
art of cinema has always been played widely and the movies industry
has an history that goes back to the masterpiecies of "realism"
in the fifty's, you will soon realize that going to the the cinema
is quiet an habit for a lot of Romans too. That's why you will not
have any problems to find a movie theatre close to your Rome
hotel or your apartment
in Rome, especially if centrally located.
In the last ten years, multi-screen have taken the place of old
fashion movie theatres, so that the options have been multiplicated.
Almost every theatre has now more than two screens and there also
three megaplex (from 18 to 24 screens), even if these are all outide
the city centre, easily reachable by car, a little less easily by
public transports, particularly by night.
In Italy, of course, cine (short for cinema) doesn't go without
cena (dinner), so if you're willing to put up the perfect theater
night, you'd better reserve a table in a restaurant
to have dinner after the show. There are two evening shows, the
primetime one (primospettacolo) at around 8:30, (it may
vary from 8 o'clock to 9:30) and the late night one (secondospettacolo)
at around 10:30 (it may vary 10:15 to 11:15). Some multiplex, like
the two Warner Bros Villages (one in the city centre, close to popular
Via Nazionale and Stazione Termini, and one in the periferic Eur
area) has got also a very late show during the week end, usually
after midnight.
If you're trying to learn
italian, it will certainly do you good to watch movies in our
language, and it will also make your evening planning much easier!
In Italy all foreign language movies are dubbed, so that to watch
a movie in the original language you will have to look in the newspaper
only for those screens that display the "versione originale"
or "lingua originale" tag.
Theaters listed below regularly schedule not dubbed movies:
- Metropolitan, Via del Corso 7, very colse to Piazza del Popolo
- Pasquino, Vicolo del Piede 19, in the heart of Trastevere.
- Greenwhich, Via Giovanni Battista Bodoni 59, in Testaccio.
- Nuovo Olimpia, Via in Lucina 16/g, at walking distance from Pantheon
and Fontana di Trevi, diplays only english language movies.
