Hotel Splendide

Aroview: An ambitious black comedy set in a dilapidated hotel off the coast of Britain, peopled by a bizarre collection of staff members and guests.

Drawing influence from the likes of DELICATESSEN and MONTY PYTHON, this heavily indulges in eccentricity and strangeness, without quite managing to fulfil its potential. However, it remains visually sharp, with a scattering of inspired performances.
