It’s summer time, and Houston-Leipzig explores German films for a light entertainment fare. We found a delightful movie and are showing it on Thursday, July 19, 2012: Im Juli (In July) by award-winning Director Fatih Akin with Moritz Bleibtreu, Christiane Paul, and Mehmet Kurtulus. The movie is in German with English subtitles.
How far do you have to go to find love? A geeky, guileless student teacher from Hamburg finds himself seeking love in unexpected places. On his way, pitfalls abound as he encounters a number of characters; some teach him about life, some just a lesson. Especially memorable is a vexing, sexy siren, who leaves him penniless and without a passport on his travels. It could be a German-Turkish road movie – it could be a coming-of-age film: whatever you want to call this odyssey, Im Juli (In Juli) is a great mixture of adventure + comedy + romance combining great cinematography with gorgeous music = a film not to be missed.
