Crispin Glover steps in front of the camera in this Kafkaesque madness where a wandering magician spends the night in a hotel only to discover, the next morning, that he can't leave it, so he continues to venture deeper into it, meeting its unusual residents along the way. Calling a work “Kafkaesque” is easy but living up to that label is totally different. However, T. Schwab takes up this task, creating a Charlie Kaufman world with a tad less deadpan and a bit more fun (and horror), driven by upbeat and slightly eerie contemporary orchestral music by Stijn Cole. This film asks us simply accept that one might not understand everything (maybe it's better off that way) while, at the same time, acts as a pointed but not entirely didactic social allegory.
