So, 'Hotel' is this fascinating piece by Emigholz that really plays with how we perceive film. The editing feels almost like a puzzle, breaking apart the usual flow and then stitching it back together with these patterns that you start to recognize. There’s something about the atmosphere that’s both detached and immersive, making you reconsider the very essence of what you're watching. It's not just a visual experience; the pacing has this hypnotic quality that invites you to linger on each shot. While I can't say much about the performances since it's more about the images, there's a distinct artistry here that challenges conventional storytelling in a way that's pretty compelling.
This film has seen a few releases over the years, but finding a well-preserved copy can be tricky, especially on VHS. It's not the most talked-about title, but collectors appreciate its experimental nature and the way it defies traditional formatting. Limited editions or unique screenings pop up occasionally, which creates a bit of a buzz in niche circles. If you're into avant-garde cinema or the works of Emigholz, this piece definitely warrants a closer look.
