The Million Dollar Hotel is what Lars Von Trier's The Idiots might look like sans the artful 'Dogma 95' restrictions, redressed in a formula centered script and sold as mainstream entertainment. People who first heard, chanted, "Bono wrote this?!" Even Wim Wenders seems decidedly put off by the whole thing: The only scenes he seems to have directed are the ones that take place at the beginning and the end of the film.
-
Frustrating Warholian absurbist love story between a alleged dim wit skateboarder and a quiet bookworm. Great cast, great soundtrack, great director. Major let down.
-
A thoughtful film.

Wenders bores the pants off everyone with this. Not even sure what it was about. I want to say there was a murder...
