Four Rooms (1995)

"Four Rooms" drops viewers into the chaotic first night of Ted the Bellhop's career at a peculiar Los Angeles hotel on New Year's Eve. It's Ted's first night on the job, and the hotel's very unusual guests are about to place him in some outrageous predicaments. It seems that this evening's room service is serving up one unbelievable happening after another, as Ted navigates four distinct, increasingly bizarre, and often perilous encounters in four different rooms of the hotel, from a coven of witches to a volatile gangster's children. Despite being an anthology film with segments directed by four different filmmakers, "Four Rooms" earns its place on a list of Robert Rodriguez's best due to his distinctive contribution and its overall independent spirit. Rodriguez directed "The Misbehavers," a chaotic and darkly humorous segment featuring two mischievous children, a dead body, and a lot of implied trouble – a perfect encapsulation of his early, irreverent style seen in films like *Desperado*. The film's fast-paced energy, quirky characters, and no-holds-barred approach to storytelling are hallmarks of Rodriguez's filmmaking, demonstrating his knack for turning a low-budget premise into a high-octane experience. It also represents a significant collaboration with Quentin Tarantino, a frequent creative partner, further cementing its importance within Rodriguez's dynamic filmography.
