Featured review
Has an ambience and atmosphere if other facets short
I admit to having a like of all things Austria so I watched this film having seen it's inclusion in a hidden list of 2000's masterpieces!
It has ambience and sets the scene with scenes of atmosphere with the location, the vivid colours and the woods surrounding the hotel. (It really reminded me of vacationing in Austria!).
I disagree with some reviews that complain 'very little happens'. The central character (Irene) has a bracelet that goes missing at one stage! She is surrounded by some interesting co-workers at the Hotel. Interesting characters of all ages not just her co-workers on the 'shopfloor'. The management and caretakers are dodgy.
So many films over the years are set in hotels. This film doesn't focus on the guests, more the staff behind the scenes.
It has all the common themes of suspense films. The vivid colours. The woods that just happen to be next door to the hotel and huse a strange cave. If anything the ending is frustrating and falls into the nothing happens! Category. Still worthy of a watch (betrachtan).
