We don’t know about you, but watching films on your laptop is okay, but nothing beats a big film screen, a great soundsystem and a comfy cinema chair. Luckily cinemas can open their doors again and hopefully the feeling stays the same, even with all the new regulations. SG provides you with a couple of viewing tips in Rotterdam cinemas.
As a lot of countries still are in lockdown, most new releases are postponed or made viewable directly via online streaming. Therefor cinemas in Rotterdam offer you a combination of old and new films the first couple of weeks. We provide you 5 tips:
Parasite
This is your last chance to watch the enormous Oscar winner 2020 on the big screen. What starts out as a dark comedy on which a poor family infiltrates into a rich family, changes gradually into a nerve twisting thriller with an unexpected ending. This film is the first foreign film to also win the Oscar for best film.
