New Rose Hotel Movie Review

Cast & Crew

Director : Abel Ferrara

Producer : Edward R. Pressman

Screenwriter : Abel Ferrara, Christ Zois,

Starring : Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe, Asia Argento, Annabella Sciorra,

Frustrated to the point where most people will give up, Abel Ferrara's New Rose Hotel is one of the worst-realized psychodramas ever made, despite its stellar one-two punch of Walken and Dafoe. Ostensibly a story about two con men who take $100 million to get a bigshot scientist to defect to a rival firm, it eventually turns into a story of obsession and subjectivity when Dafoe's character realizes he's been had. The end result is that the last half the movie is a flashback to the first half of the movie, and mostly in slow motion. Interminable and dull, with plenty of mood lighting and little in the way of mood.
