Four Rooms 4K 1995

Over the course of a single night—New Year’s Eve—four stories, each wilder than the last, unfold involving Ted (Tim Roth), a hotel bellhop, at a run-down hotel. First, he stumbles upon a witches’ sabbath (“The Missing Ingredient”); then, he ends up in a room where a jealous husband wants to kill his wife (“The Wrong Man”); in the third room, a Latin American mobster and his wife leave their children in his care (“The Mischief-Makers”), and in the fourth, a drunk, deranged Hollywood director and his friends ask him to cut off one of their fingers (“The Man from Hollywood”). In any case, the bellhop must remain unflappable.

The film consists of four short stories directed by like-minded filmmakers. Quentin Tarantino himself conceived the project. The four films are linked by a common character (Ted) and a single setting. Tarantino invited his friend Rodriguez and two young directors—Alison Anders and Alexander Rockwell—to join the project. As expected, the films vary in quality—some are weaker, others stronger. In any case, the experiment can be considered a success, and the film *Four Rooms* is a must-see on any movie lover’s list.
