About Heartbreak Hotel
In a hotel that pays homage to Elvis Presley, five women come together to complete a mission: remove a dead man from the premises. In this jubilant giallo, where the murder of a man federates a friendship between five women, all the clichés of the crime film are undermined: no female character is a victim, the police play no role and the men are useless. Emma Axelroud Bernard, who signs her first film, shows great inventiveness in her falsely pastiche use of the codes of the photo novel and the American film noir, and skillfully combines offbeat humor and feminist pamphlet.
Directed by Emma Axelroud Bernard, Heartbreak Hotel leans on a strong ensemble — Kimiko Kitamura, Elsa Madeleine, Agathe Paysant — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2023.

Gulley Jimson is a boorish aging artist recently released from prison. A swindler in search of his next art project, he hunkers down in the penthouse of would-be patrons the Beeders while they go on an extended vacation; he paints a mural on their wall, pawns their valuables and, along with the sculptor Abel, inadvertently smashes a large hole in their floor. Jimson's next project is an even larger wall in an abandoned church.
