Spinoza Once Again Alive At The Canal

Movie Premiere Spinoza 'A Free Thinker' 

Yesterday was the premiere of a movie about Spinoza. The Dutch Baruch Spinoza (1632-1672) is a revolutionary philospher who is widely known all over the earth yet almost completely undiscovered in his own country of origin, The Netherlands. This movie - a "docudrama" - is an effort to change the latter.

Benedictus de Spinoza is one of the world's greatest thinkers. He was one of the first philosophers that proclaimed that all people are equal and that everyone must have the freedom to believe, think and say what they want. This is a timeless message from a free thinker out of the 17th century.

This movie documentary by Robin Lutz effectively portrays what his philophies mean for our mordern day society. Spinoza has paved the way to a society where peace, freedom and rights are the underlying foundation, where every individual receives the opportunity to personal happiness.

Interior scenes where it seems 
like one can step right back into 
the 17th century, as if a painting 
has unanticipatedly become 3D

The movie critic reviews revel about the interior scences where it seems like one can step right back into the 17th century, as if a painting has unanticipatedly become 3D. These very scenes were predominantly recorded in two of the canal houses of the Fundatie Voorhoeve, the Van Balckeneynde House en the Jan Van Goyen House, despite the fact that for the viewer part of these scenes 'took place' in Amsterdam.

Spinoza spent the last years of his life living around the corner at the Paviljoensgracht. This is also where he finished his masterpiece "Ethica".

Spinoza can be viewed in 13 Pathé Bioscopen (cinemas) around the Netherlands. For movie times and locations or the trailer click here.
