- 24 September 1999 Summary:
God-awful German/Italian movie This
film is about a woman who misses her plane, and is forced
to stay at a decayed hotel for a night.
During her
stay, she observes the mentally ill man staying in the
room next to her's. Virtually devoid of
intelligent
filmmaking or writing, or any type of credible acting,
this poorly dubbed movie starts off
pointless
and ends pointless. Plus, it's needlessly graphic.
Whether or not you'll like this movie depends
of your
abilities to watch Bruce Robinson's scrotum for fifteen
minutes nonstop.
