Four Rooms
Four directors. Four cinematographers. Four editors. And four separate stories, spun out consecutively on New Year's Eve in the Hotel Mon Signor, threaded together with the twitchily inventive comic performance of Tim Roth as the gung-ho new bellhop. His is as much a full-body job as the bellboy of Jerry Lewis in the 1960 film of that name. (Explicitly cited in the script.) The first two single-joke episodes, by Allison Anders and Alexandre Rockwell, don't come to much. The next two, by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, don't come to much, either, but at least they come to punchy conclusions. With Valeria Golino, Lili Taylor, Madonna, Ione Skye, David Proval, Jennifer Beals, Antonio Banderas, Tamlyn Tomita, Bruce Willis. 1995.
