In this bizarre satiric comedy, Kath (Toni Collette) is a chef who decides to leave the family business and strike out on her own. Her former lover Ronald (Daniel Craig) does not take this news well -- he's been trying to run the decaying Hotel Splendide, a resort and health spa, just the way his folks did years before, complete with regularly scheduled enemas and food not marred by flavor. After five years, Kath decides that it's time to bury the hatchet and volunteers to come back and work with Ronald at the Hotel, though the place has hardly improved in her absence. Hotel Splendide also features Stephen Tompkinson, Katrin Cartlidge, and Peter Vaughan. (Verleiher-Text)

I had a hard time getting into the movie. In fact, I don’t think I even got into it at all. I tried, but the movie’s pretty crazy. It’s completely absurd. At times, it even looks as if the creators were riding on LSD the whole time, including the pickup shots. The delicacies were nice to watch and the horrible food made you laugh. But at times it was too extreme and I had troubles deciding whether to laugh or shake my head and wonder in baffled surprise. More times I was baffled and that’s why I rate it like this.
