Eye for Film : Hotel Splendide Movie Review (2000) "British" and "film" are not always the greatest combination of words on the planet. In fact lately the rash of films trying to emulate the Englishness of Four Weddings And A Funeral, the gruesomeness of Shallow Grave or the plucky northerner spirit of the hugely successful The Full Monty (see There's Only One Jimmy Grimble or Billy Elliot for more examples) seem to have seriously put back the British film industry. In this state of mind I toddled along to Hotel Splendide, concerned it would fall somewhere between Fawlty Towers and Guesthouse Paradiso or, God forbid, worse. So it's with some relief that I can report that Splendide is in fact a great deal better than expected if rather less, er, splendid than it could be... The Hotel itself is a big rotting pile offshore that alleges to be a merry little hotel though one suspects the guests are actually serving some sort of obscure community service for crimes unknown since the place is utterly inhospitable.

untitled (An essay concerning the subtext of the film by the same title) by Crispin Hellion Glover Is this culture content? Is it happy? Are the smiles broadcast by this culture's media the smiles that reflect the collective mind? Is this culture a Judeo-Christian culture? What else in this culture were the Columbine killers attacking? Were Harris and Klebold reacting to the media itself? In Civilization and Its Discontents, did Sigmund Freud define a neurotic as an individual holding thoughts that clash with those held by the prevailing culture, an individual who subverts those clashing thoughts to the subconscious that later manifest in the form of anxiety and unnecessary behavior? Is it true that in his waning years, Orson Welles asked Steven Spielberg for a small amount of money with which he could make a final film? Do Steven Spielberg's passions burn? Did Joseph Goebbels popularize certain ideals to the mass culture? What if you wish to express these ideas? Do you like MTV? What is it?
