After a man dies at a run-down Los Angeles hotel, a federal agent arrives to investigate and questions the building’s eccentric residents.

About
You may enjoy this if you like strange, poetic mysteries with deadpan humor and a drifting pace, similar in spirit to Communion or Letters from a Killer; Not for you if you want a clear, fast, straightforward thriller.
Pros: unusual mood and humor; strong performances; memorable music | Cons: slow and meandering; hard-to-follow story; muffled, quiet dialogue
