Why these movies?
The story pattern: Stories in this thread often feature characters at a turning point, using the contained, temporary space of a hotel to explore confrontations, secrets, and reconciliations. The narrative structure can be focused on a single couple or, as in portmanteau films, multiple interconnected stories, all tied together by the unique atmosphere of the hotel.
