The Capitol Dahlem, a historic movie theater situated in a villa, shows the most current movies. But apart from the movies, this theater is nothing close to a usual movie theater: grape ivy trails up the walls of the building that welcomes its visitors in the large front yard. Instead of popcorn, the Capitol offers champagne and the prestigious hall is reminiscent of a private villa more than of a movie hall. Enjoy the movies in a whole different way.
