Info

David Weaver makes his feature debut with this omnibus film in which each tale is told during different points during the 20th century, but in the same hotel room -- room 720. The film opens during the swinging '20s when a beautiful young woman, married against her will to a brutish thug of a man, endures a tension-fraught honeymoon. During the Depression segment, a mail-order bride from China meets her husband for the first time. Following the end of WWII, a soldier returns home to meet his girlfriend and his best friend. During the paranoia of the 1950s, a professor searches for his wife. During the 1980s, a lawyer has too much sex and debt, and during the dawn of the millennium, a woman comes to a newly refurbished room 720 to meet her Internet lover. Such acclaimed Canadian actors as Tom McCamus, Sandrine Holt, and Colm Feore star in this film, which was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival.

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
kudos4kkms The winding stories of each of the characters make for interesting plot lines. Alone they could each stand as a separate movie, making the film even more interesting. I find that the cinematography is quite fluent: always finding the right angles and points that are most interesting for the viewer.Yes. It is a little slow going, but completely and totally worth the sit through. Especially if you like plain old GOOD film.The acting in it is superb from every angle, making each of the characters unbelievably believable. You care or hate for each of them, and are constantly wishing to see "What happens next". My friends and I all sort of latched on to a certain story line and were all anxious to get back to different pieces throughout the movie, which made for a great time.But over all, terrific casting, clean cut scripting, and just a damn good movie. Props to David Weaver and the cast.
Fairygonesouth the way the movie bounced around kept me watching because I got involved with every story. I liked them all except for the guy with the book of poems. What was that? the story about the hooker was sad. It was sad because she continued hooking for him, a married guy, or at least thats what I understood. then towards the end, shes all trashy and just gives it away and for what? About the Cantonies ( I don't know if I even spelled that right) I don't speak it there for I don't care if it wasn't spot on. I th0ught the whole blind folded while dressing her thing was kinky. The guy coming back from war tricked me. I was thinking that they were fighting over the girl when in fact it was something very different. Nothing warms the heart like seeing two men lieing in necked embrace!!!!!!! Moving on, The beginning and end was cute. I like the whole reincarnation thing but my favorite part was the maid and the reclusive rocker. that song kept me watching the movie. Its stuck in my head. I liked her voice better than his but their duet had me watching the credits. I want so bad to find that song. I don't know if it was done just for the video or what. Shouldn't it be out there somewhere? Shouldn't it? If any one reads this. Hit me back! If anyone finds this song, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAS get back to me.
TheVid These multiple vignettes all taking place in the same hotel room during the course of the last century are brief and engaging enough to keep you interested, but generally don't come together in any meaningful way. They all make a point, but ultimately only one works in bringing the overall framework of the picture to a satisfactory close. Amateurish writing nicely filmed.
come_raine_or_shine I also really liked Century Hotel. I only heard about it, because I am a huge OLP fan and I just wanted to see Raine Maida. But it was good! I haven't heard anything about it other than one article before it even came out. I watched it last night and I can't stop thinking about it. I wasn't disappointed in the movie, or Raine. And to the person who was looking for the song, it's called Can't Make It Good, but unfortunately I can't find it anywhere. I've been looking all day.
