Willem Dafoe excels as the manager of a luxury hotel who decides to sabotage the plans of the Argentine developer who has acquired it.
Vienna’s glamorous Intercontinental Hotel has just been sold to a property developer who plans to tear it down. However, he hadn’t bargained on Lucius Glantz, the hotel’s manager, who is unwilling to let the building he has dedicated his life to be torn down without a fight. Unfortunately, his obsession starts to affect the hotel’s efficient running. This dark, multilingual comedy is infused with an absurdist theatricality and features wickedly good performances.
