The Electric Hotel by Dominic Smith

4.0

Intriguing look at the very early days of cinema through the story of a reclusive filmmaker whose lost masterpiece is restored by a film historian, with flashbacks to the movie's creation at a Palisades, NJ, studio. A vivid cast of characters are brought together by various paths and then torn apart after the premiere. Fine and insightful storytelling.
