From Marienbad to the Bates Motel, cinematic hotels are more than a mere backdrop to a films action. They actively scaffold the formal, aesthetic, and narrative possibilities of cinema. This book takes a journey through spaces of temporary dwellinghotels, inns, and motelsto delve into the dynamics and contradictions that structure modern life. Along the way, ODwyer considers questions of plot and eroticism, labor and globalization, and the ethics and economics of hospitality. Drawing on a broad array of films from European art cinema to experimental adult media, and placing cinema into dialogue with film theory and media history, Hotels explores both how and why the hotel has such a strong purchase on the cinematic imaginary.
