hwstich, i watched it last night and love it too! this type of movie (independent, quirky.....) has the potential to go horribly wrong and sometimes does. however, this one did not.
i found its quirkiness a plus, the set design and lighting matched perfectly the mood they were going for, and the characters were compelling and endearing. the real high point though was the tangible, thick, obvious chemistry between toni collette and daniel craig. they absolutely smoldered! i liked it so much i didn't remove it from my instant play after watching it like i do with almost every other movie i watch.
by the way, i found out that less than a year ago amazon starting selling hotel splendide in a region 1 format dvd. it's a new service they've started where they print one as it's ordered. it seems that a lot of obscure titles are being made available this way. thank you amazon!
