Cactus Hotel is a fascinating documentary that has you listening to an old Saguaro cactus recounting its life as a hotel for a range of guests. The tone is gentle, almost meditative, and it invites you to consider the interconnectedness of life in the desert. The pacing allows for reflection, letting you absorb the simple yet profound moments of nature, from ants scuttling to owls nesting in its bark. Practical effects here are minimal but effective—it's all about what’s real, what’s already there. The performances, if you can call them that, are purely observational, which adds to its charm. There's something distinct about how it presents the harsh yet beautiful cohabitation of various species, making you smile at the odd pairings like a rattlesnake and a desert rat next door.
