Fitzcarraldo - Expat Cinema Rotterdam

Werner Herzog
Miss seeing international films because you can’t yet keep up with the Dutch subtitles? Want to meet fellow expats and new Dutch folks. Love cinema. Then this is the event for you! Curated international films with English subtitles.

Herzog and Kinski condemned to one another again. Businessman Fitzcarraldo wants to build an opera house in the Peruvian rainforest. To reach it, he has a steamboat dragged over the hills. This dangerous feat was really performed for the film.

Peru, the early 20th century: businessman Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, nicknamed ‘Fitzcarraldo’, is crazy about opera, and – in particular – about world renowned tenor Enrico Caruso. He wants to build an opera house for him in the middle of the rainforest. To collect the necessary funds Fitzcarraldo buys aa plot for a rubber plantation and boards a steamboat heading for the jungle.
