Our take

In a unique, unlikely partnership, Wim Wenders and U2’s Bono collaborate for The Million Dollar Hotel: a playful off-beat murder mystery and Los Angeles-set ensemble drama, for which the latter contributed music and the former won a Silver Bear at the Berlinale. An eccentric, energetic curiosity.
