Hotel Desire

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.

First I should say that this review is being given by one who does not speak German, however I did not need to do so as you will presently understand.

This movie was eventually marketed as a pornographic film which is a great pity.

The acting, casting and cinematography are as good as I have ever seen. The directing is also first rate considering the limitations imposed by the money available, a paltry 60,000 Euros.

In my opinion, this is a film that was meant to explore many facets of the central character and her life; excellently played by Volm.

In the course of her day there are many possible avenues created for further plot development, but they all remain latent and unexplored for lack of money.

Begging further work: the relationships with her fellow employees; her immediate boss who possibly feels paternal toward her, and another maid who makes a pass at her in their changing room. Then there is either a fashion shoot or perhaps a porno shoot in one of the rooms she is to clean and replenish. She's both titillated and amused by the happening, and they show more than a mild interest in her as well.Finally,the encounter with The Man, played by Schick. I don't want to say how it begins because it would spoil a delightful, if fanciful, seduction- and how this develops int the hottest sexual encounter I have ever seen in what ought to have been a full length movie. The movie is roughly 39 minutes long and the sexual encounter comprises roughly six minutes at the end. With only 60,000 Euros, they had to end it SOME way.

I watched this movie with my wife as we wanted something to put us in the mood. Hotel Desire fit the bill for a couple of reasons. First, it's not a lengthy film at all at just 40 minutes. Second, it's actually a sweet story of a day in the life of a maid. The day doesn't start out as sweet, in fact it's anything but. Whatever can go wrong does for her. But the last bit of the film (I wasn't checking the time so I'll guess 15 minutes?) things turn around for her as she has a sexual encounter with the other main character. Finally, what made this the perfect "date movie" for me and my wife is that it has just the right amount of sex. The act wasn't portrayed as dirty, the female was not degraded in any way, and any shots of genitals were brief. It wasn't as graphic as porn you'll find online but it was beyond Basic Instinct. It was, as my title says, just the right amount. I wish there were more films like this. Enjoy!

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...

It's a well made short film, I must say, with so much consideration given to acting, cinematography, editing and sound design. All of this is let down by what I feel is a very mediocre screenplay that doesn't go anywhere.

Even the climax, though it is bold and unconventional, feels like it exists only to necessitate the climax of the film the way it did, than as an actual conclusion or resolution to the story beat.

I only wish this movie was written as good as it was filmed.
