HOTEL (2001)

Pain. Torture. Perversion.

From Academy Award-nominated director Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas, Timecode) comes HOTEL, a bold and hypnotic exploration of power, voyeurism, and the surreal underbelly of the film industry.

In a mysterious Venetian hotel, a British film crew arrives to shoot a period drama about the infamous Duchess of Malfi. But as the cameras roll, strange and sinister events unfold behind the scenes. The director (Rhys Ifans) wrestles with an unruly cast, including the enigmatic leading lady (Saffron Burrows, Deep Blue Sea) and a fiery actress (Salma Hayek, Desperado), while hotel staff harbor their own eerie secrets. Meanwhile, a documentary crew, led by a brash American journalist (David Schwimmer, "Friends"), captures the chaos--unaware that a much darker story is being written beneath the surface.

Filmed in an innovative, split-screen digital style and infused with black comedy, horror, and surreal intrigue, Hotel is an unpredictable cinematic experiment where nothing is quite as it seems. Featuring an all-star ensemble cast, including John Malkovich (Con Air), Lucy Liu (Kill Bill), Burt Reynolds (Boogie Nights) and Julian Sands (Warlock), this provocative thriller invites you to check in... if you dare.
