The Million Dollar Hotel
Leaving May 31
•
2h 3m
Directed by Wim Wenders • 2000 • Germany, United Kingdom, United States
Starring Mel Gibson, Milla Jovovich, Jeremy Davies
Based on a story by Bono and featuring a soundtrack by U2, Wim Wenders’s dreamy, surreally stylized vision of life on the margins unfolds in a rundown Los Angeles hotel populated by a coterie of misfits, drifters, and eccentrics. When the death of a resident (Tim Roth) draws an FBI agent (Mel Gibson) into their strange, insular world, truth and delusion begin to blur. Told through the eyes of the tender-hearted Tom Tom (Jeremy Davies), who is hopelessly in love with the enigmatic Eloise (Milla Jovovich), THE MILLION DOLLAR HOTEL finds strange poetry in a world of decaying beauty.
