"In the first of Akerman's longer feature films the camera becomes the actress who, with extended takes and tracking-shots, is moved through the empty spaces of the New York hotel of the same name—creating an architectural study likewise a psychic space."
FYI:Original film is silent, I added the music.
I am watchin this film at the moment, on tcm as well. It really freaked me out when there was rare footage of life, in the film. Especially since I thought it was some sort of video misfeed, and it intrigued me. Come to find out, the film was made on purpose... Lol... The whole time I thought I was watching either video misfeed or a horror film. It was kind of creepy. Kind of like Blair Witch meets Poltergeist.
