Four Rooms 4K 1995 Ultra HD 2160p

Story Movie

Four short stories linked by a single character—Ted, a janitor who went to work on New Year’s Eve. He stumbles upon a witches’ sabbath, nearly meets his end at the hands of a jealous husband, barely escapes the gangster’s mischievous children, and takes part in a strange wager between two eccentric gentlemen.

Review 4K Movie

An excellent, original, downright crazy movie. It’s completely outside the norm; the genre that comes closest is black comedy.

The main character, a doorman named Ted played by Tim Roth—you wouldn’t see a character like this in a typical movie. All those semi-epileptic nervous spasms, tics, and twitches—I can’t recall anyone ever portraying a person having a nervous breakdown so convincingly. Four completely different short stories, each brilliant and interesting in its own way.

My absolute favorite is probably “The Rascals”—the character played by Antonio Banderas has stuck with me forever; his other roles simply pale in comparison to the intensity and authenticity of this one—the homeless daredevil from *Once Upon a Time in Mexico* seems like nothing more than a slobbering fool by comparison. The other short stories are just as good and left a lasting impression on me. I keep this movie in my home collection.
