Four Rooms

Four Rooms (1995) — watch online: a comedy anthology of four short films, each directed by a different filmmaker — Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. One New Year's Eve, one Hollywood hotel, one overwhelmed bellhop named Ted.

It's Ted's first shift on the job. Tim Roth plays him straight-faced while everything around him unravels: a witch coven (with Madonna) conducting a ritual in Room 1, a jealous husband waving a gun in Room 2, a gangster's two feral kids locked alone in Room 3, and in the finale a high-rolling guest named Chester (Tarantino) who invites Ted into the most dangerous bet of the night. Antonio Banderas drops in as a frantic father, Bruce Willis owns the closing segment, and Marisa Tomei breezes through in minutes.

Each segment has its own rhythm — darkly funny, absurdist, violent at the edges — held together only by Ted, who keeps showing up at the wrong door. Stream Four Rooms (1995) online on iFILM.
