Tuschinski Theatre
-
Amsterdam’s – perhaps the world’s – most elaborate cinema was the extraordinary creation of a driven, self-made Jewish tailor from Poland. Obsessed by film and the belief that it could change lives, he masterminded a vast team of craftsmen and conjured the cinema, in 1921, in a slum known as Devil’s Corner. He was later to perish in Auschwitz, but his wonderful creation – loosely Art Nouveau, but termed Tuschinski Style for its unique mixture of influences – lives on. In 2002 it reopened, after a multi-million dollar renovation. In the process, hitherto unknown paintings of Vogue-style ladies were uncovered, and the theatre has been returned to its former breathtaking glory. Buy a ticket for Screen One to admire the main theatre before the lights go down.
