  • Starring: Max Beesley, Rhys Ifans, Saffron Burrows, Salma Hayek
  • Summary: Like Figgis's "Time Code," this experimental ensemble piece splits the screen between four simultaneous storylines: the filming of a period movie "The Duchess of Malfi," a sleazy documentary about the making of that movie, a murder plot, and a bizarre maid service. The four stories ultimately converge during the festivities of the Venice Carnival.… Expand

    Though finally overwhelmed by a preening lassitude, Hotel is never less than fascinating.

    Most audiences will find it baffling and unsatisfactory. Those who are open to its flywheel peculiarities may find it bold, funny, peculiar and delightful.

    Hotel might be best described as the art-house version of "Cannonball Run."

    Much talking, much sex, much to-do about nothing.

    Loosen up people. A bit capricious and the slightest bit obtuse, but it's nice to see someone with the courage to take some risks and try something new. A film need not reinvent cinema or perform a masterstroke to be worth watching or to sooth a brain that's worn thin by Hollywood's near-constant flow of uninspired trash based on much-hackneyed premises and painfully simple cliches. If this film is a personal milestone for the director on the path to finding their own voice, then I am honored to have been witness to the unfoldment of even a fragment of their dreams in cinema-graphic form. To be sure, the film contains many great ideas and some fresh editing approaches at the very least. Well done and I wish this director the very best!… Collapse
