Birgit Minichmayr, Christopher Schärf, Franziska Weisz, Marlene Streeruwitz, Rosa WaissnixOriginally produced by Film Movement in 2004.Newly restored in 4K and available for the first time in North America, Austrian auteur Jessica Hausner radically upends genre tropes and preempts the resurgence of folk horror with her second and most formally audacious feature, HOTEL.

Hausner’s sophomore feature is a haunting metaphysical horror film unlike any other.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
