Century Hotel

David Weaver makes his feature debut with this omnibus film in which each tale is told during different points during the 20th century, but in the same hotel room room 720. The film opens during the swinging '20s when a beautiful young woman, married against her will to a brutish thug of a man, endures a tension-fraught honeymoon. During the Depression segment, a mail-order bride from China meets her husband for the first time. Following the end of WWII, a soldier returns home to meet his girlfriend and his best friend. During the paranoia of the 1950s, a professor searches for his wife. During the 1980s, a lawyer has too much sex and debt, and during the dawn of the millennium, a woman comes to a newly refurbished room 720 to meet her Internet lover. Such acclaimed Canadian actors as Tom McCamus, Sandrine Holt, and Colm Feore star in this film, which was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival.

  • "Century Hotel is an epic based on a hotel romm, that, over the course of a century, sees every kind of human drama. Through a series of seven woven stories, we witness the defining moments in the life of room number 720. Beginning in 1921 on the hotel's opening night and moving through depression era 1933, we emerge in 1945 to witness a post-war lover's reunion, enter a nightmare in 1953, the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll of the 60's and on to the decadent 1980s before the climax on the eve of the new millennium."
