Leonard Cohen - I am a Hotel
A short musical film into which 5 of Cohen’s songs are woven.
- 1 The Guests in which the characters enter via the lobby and are taken to their rooms; The bellboy and chambermaid meet in the corridor; and the manager and his wife apparently have angry words in the lobby after which she strides off.
- 2 Memories (in which the bellboy pursues the chambermaid around the laundry and ballroom)
- 3 The Gypsy wife (in which the manager’s wife, in fetching attire, dances on the boardroom table)
- 4 Chelsea Hotel # 2 (in which the two lovers try, and fail, to make love, and the admiral and diva at last face each other across the hallway)
- 5 Suzanne (in which scenes of Suzanne with Cohen are interspersed with shots of the two couples reunited and dancing together, and the hotel manager distraught and then drinking at the bar)
