Hotel Esplanad

About This Movie

Hotel Esplanad is a fascinating dive into a world frozen in time, juxtaposing the decay of a once-thriving community with the vibrant stories of its inhabitants. The hotel itself, with its peeling wallpaper and dust-laden corners, feels like a character, echoing the ghosts of the past. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing moments of quiet reflection amidst the chaos of colorful characters that inhabit this eerie space. The performances are raw and grounded, enhancing the film’s exploration of isolation and connection. It’s a unique mix of melancholy and whimsy, crafting an atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. A true gem for those who appreciate the beauty in decay and the narratives that emerge from it.
