Director's statement

Room to Let is a lingering study of the strangely humdrum existence of a group of listless youths who share an inner-city house. The tight confines of the house cause frequent intrusions of privacy and intimate encounters, but the static mood of the film hints at a kind of entropy, a sort of emotional detachment which the characters also share.

 

Yet the beautifully shot sequences portray the film’s aloofness and give it unexpected lushness. The movie offer up a twisted tale of longing, lost love and lust.
