Hotel desire

Maybe not very fair to admitt but, indeed, I liked it. Not only for sensuality and for nice filmed sex , but for story itself, realistic, simple, precise crafted.

A single mother , preocuped by here little boy travel to see his father, has late at job. She has the twice good luck to not be fired and a conversation with her work mate defines her not so happy situation.

But , entring in the last hotel room who she must clean , a sort of accident offers to her a magnificent surprise.

No doubts, the sex scenes are the axis of this short film but unfair to reduce it to them. In short, just seductive film , using familiar, pretty ordinary pieces from near reality .

The two other reviews of this movie, as I write this, both seem to have missed the director's vision. One of them is almost a diatribe and the other an apology. Neither do this sensitive, hand crafted movie justice.

There maybe some technical problems with the editing, for example an unfortunate jerk in continuity early on when the protagonist moves from changing room to being upbraided by Management, but to me from the perspective of what the Director was trying to do and whether he did it, the movie was almost perfect. I don't understand the criticism of the music, the use of Debussy for example was, dare I say, lyrical? Each shot is thought out and framed beautifully. There is subtle complexity to the several story lines of ordinary human interaction each of them confirming in a precise way elemental humanity.

Only a shrink-wrapped hedonist would call this porn. Metaphysical in content it is really a celebration of life as beauty. The tenderness of the final denouement is sublime and it most certainly is not in the sex.

As in hot day - a thing the short movie establishes right from the start ... it also gives us a preview of what it got infamy for: Nudity (and then some) - starting with a shower scene I reckon is quite genius, especially considering where it will lead us and climax into - pun very much intended.

Having said all that, I just watched this today and as other reviewers also state, it is a shame this was reduced to just the explicit sex we towards the end. I guess it was meant to get the attention for that - it is just a shame that all the drama and acting and quite frankly well told story of a single mom who is beloved mostly in the hotel she works in ... well does not get the attention it deserves.

Really good acting (and some quite recognizable faces in this too) and performances that dare. So you may know where this leads and may want to enjoy that, but I'd urge you to also watch this for the story before that ... the end almost feels like a dream ... nothing dirty about it for sure (no pun intended).

I hope watch it season. This short movie is atractive, maybe for be a universal history. The sound track is magnific and the actors are amazing! I am suspected for speak about it, but this is true...

Even though the film depicits sexuality and explicit lovemaking scenes, it's not a porn movie rather a beautiful way of portrayal of an ordinary human interaction with joy, life, beauty and love.
