About This Movie
La Salle Hotel is quite the peculiar piece from 2011, melding animation with haunting archival footage. It offers this abstract take on the infamous 1946 fire in Chicago. The way they use digital breakdowns and reconstruct the visuals with that recycled 35mm film, it’s a unique approach that feels raw. You really sense the fragility of the frame itself almost collapsing under its own weight, which mirrors the historical tragedy. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, giving you time to soak in the atmosphere. There’s a stark beauty to the visuals that lingers, even as it’s unsettling. It’s definitely not your standard narrative film, but rather an experience that disturbs and fascinates in equal measure.
