Interesting and diverse characters
Rare gem
The movie revolves around one hotel room over the case of several decades, from its inaugural tenants, to a chilling scenario on New Year's Eve of the new millennium. A masterpiece from Canada which is a rare find but totally worth it.

"Well, it’s hard to say which Virginia Woolf I would choose since she is of all writers the one who most clearly articulates the world as I live in and perceive it. But I think I would say that the particular sadness of Jacob’s Room somehow reminds me of myself when life has taken me away from myself. “Their lack of concern for him was not the cause of his gloom, but some more profound conviction—it was not that he himself was lonely, but that all people are.”"

One of the most life-changing books I've read
George Orwell's terrifying dystopian novel is one of those books that has gone down as the all-time top 100 books to read. It explores the idea of "double-think" not too dissimilar to what we currently call the "Post-Truth" era. Written in 1948, Orwell envisioned a world ruled by the Soviet Union in which all information was distorted and monitored to the point that thoughts were also exposed. It is terrifying beyond belief, as the main character Winston Smith attempts to explore his own mind not before facing the infamous Room 101. A really important read for our time.
