Top CriticAvant-garde filmmaker Pat O'Neill's haunting ode to pulp fiction and the now-vanished Ambassador Hotel is steeped in decaying Los Angeles glamour and the ghosts of noir thrillers past.

Eight years in the making, this haunting and highly watchable 35-millimeter experimental feature by Pat O'Neill is partly a color documentary on the ruins of Hollywood's Ambassador Hotel and partly a speculative patchwork of its decaying 'fictions'.

The fullest expression of [O'Neill's] career on the periphery of the dream-factory assembly line.
