One of those films you struggle hard to understand how it was financed. We found some of it quite funny, and could clearly see it was about stuff, but the very dryness of it, the unreal way in which everyone behaves, was deadening. But what finally cancelled it was the dog being kicked to death, and the guy who's had his lips slashed. Then we both turned to each other and said "Enough".
The hotel was making me think of Last Year at Marienbad, the dystopian stuff Fahrenheit 451.
