Featured review
The story of the documentary sounds interesting but unfortunately the documentary has many disabling flaws that. The interviews were a highlight but many of them could of been edited and added to make a more cohesive narrative. Many confusing elements are added with little explanation. There is a scene taken from a recent action film (in English though I did not recognise it)clearly showcasing the hotel but with little context and no explanation.
The documentary also goes through a clichéd explanation of the communist Teto era of Yugoslavia with no nuance.
The director repeatedly refers to his childhood visiting the country and staying at the hotel but in such a way that it becomes little more than trivia which apparently is the foundation of this documentary!
Overall I wish it focused more on the history of the hotel and what the people think about it. Many of the shots of the abandoned hotel I quite enjoyed but do locals view it as a derelict site of a history they would rather forget or as an important landmark that should be restored to its former glory. I wouldn't know.
