Our summer screenings in the Telegraph Pulse atrium are back! The short story film FOUR ROOMS is the work of four directors who have recently become the most celebrated exponents of American independent cinema. The filmmakers shot four episodic stories, set on New Year's Eve in the rooms of a Los Angeles hotel. Each story (and room) involves a newly minted hotel valet, Ted (Tim Roth). With fateful intransigence, the young man becomes an important player in a variety of strange and even bizarre events. Each of the directors wrote the script for their episode and, of course, applied their own poetics in the execution. The result is a highly eclectic spectacle in which different styles and genres alternate without much complementary effect. Robert Rodriguez's anecdote in particular stands out for its cinematic flair and imaginative approach. The film is not saved artistically by a number of well-known and famous actors, due to its unclear and undefined concept from the beginning.
