Product: The Million Dollar Hotel (2000)
Rating: 5.0
5 well earned stars!
The Million Dollar Hotel is off-beat, and by no means Wenders' best work, but still worth viewing on a rainy day! Its a bit melancholy, quite quirky, sometimes surreal, yet very sweet. Jeremy Davies delivers a fine performance as Tom-Tom. Milla Jovavich is stunning. The script is slightly odd, but not distracting, and there are moments of pure poetry, like Tom-Tom's fall. What helps the movie immensely is the really fantastic soundtrack (minus one song -- the Spanish version of Anarchy in the UK is awful). The music is either jazzy or U2/Brian Eno-esque which makes it perfect for grey days.
