Highly Entertaining!

From Koki Mitani comes The Uchouten Hotel, a tremendously entertaining, all-star comedy of the highest order. It's New Year's Eve, and the Avanti Hotel must prepare for a major midnight bash. With the film's midnight deadline looming, hilarity ensues with mistaken identities, tenacious prostitutes, disgraced politicians, inter-office romance, lost loves, and a hard-to-catch duck. With the ever-reliable Koji Yakusho in the lead, you know you're in for a good time. In addition to creatively adapting elements of Grand Hotel, Koki Mitani injects the film with the pace, wit, and elegance of the golden age of Hollywood. Channeling the likes of Frank Capra's endearing charm and Howard Hawkes' lightning-fast dialog, the film proves to be hilarious, uplifting, and wholly engaging. Highly recommended! |

A true comic gem

Yakusho Koji leads a stellar cast in the wildly entertaining "Uchouten Hotel", certainly the funniest and perhaps the best film I've seen this year. Inspired by the Hollywood classic, "Grand Hotel", this film weaves together the stories of a vast array of colorful characters into a seamless comic romp. This is life-affirming filmmaking of the highest order. What makes it work so well is that we see a little bit of ourselves in every character. We laugh at their foibles; we rejoice at their small victories; we root for them through their challenges. Of course, what makes it work so well also includes the masterful direction and editing of this great film. Putting together a story like this is as intricate as assembling a classic Swiss watch. Everything must work perfectly if the thing is going to work at all. And, believe me, "Uchouten Hotel" ticks along flawlessly, with one uproarious laugh after another. Very, very highly recommended. |
