Hotel Straussberg poster
NR

This hotel is not a comfort zone, but a military flavored prison, and his gay guests can be chained before they get disciplined. To outsiders, the scenery seem bizarre – but as always, it helps to recognize the peculiar in debt. Between delivery rituals there are friendly chats, but especially in the documentary observation of this German SM bondage role play there are flashing moments of real tenderness. So it’s also a comfort zone, somehow.

Prolific documentarian Jan Soldat (For Fuck’s Sake, Christian, We’re Making a Porn Film) brings another very special, adults-only, sex-positive cinematic experience with this close-up character study of the eponymous Paul -an ordinary-seeming middle-aged man in his city-center apartment. This gentle, lovely fellow talks frankly about his life, work, and family in a simple, deep, and honest conversation. Empathetic humanism at its most direct.
