Overview
Credits
Write a short summary of what happens in the film.
A boutique hotel, anthropomorphized through a woman’s voice, introduces itself in the form of a personal ad. It tries to seduce us with its sophisticated accent, interest in single-origin coffee, and closeness to the city center. All the while, we visually tour the hotel’s amenities with calculated cinematography inspired by director Jacques Tati, ending with the message that Hotels.com can help you find your perfect somewhere.
Cultural / Context information for the jury
The film borrows the form of the “personal ad,” which are advertisements usually placed in newspapers or websites by individuals who are in search of friendship or a romantic partner.
Tell the jury anything relevant about the cinematography.
While the voiceover tries to seduce you, the cinematography takes you through the amenities in very symmetrical, considered compositions inspired by the visual language of Jacques Tati.
