New Rose Hotel
New Rose Hotel is a 1998 American erotic science fiction drama film co-written and directed by Abel Ferrara and starring Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe and Asia Argento. It is based on William Gibson's 1984 short story of the same name.
Plot
Fox (Walken) and X (Dafoe) are Tokyo-based freelance industrial spies who specialize in helping R&D scientists defect from corporations who would rather see them dead than working for competitors. Fox is obsessed with Dr. Hiroshi (Yoshitaka Amano), a paradigm-shattering super-genius who works for Maas, the corporation that crippled Fox. Japanese firm Hosaka hires Fox and X to help Hiroshi defect, offering a fee of $50 million. Fox and X hire Sandii (Argento), a small-time nightclub singer and call girl in Shinjuku, to help persuade Hiroshi to defect to a newly-outfitted Hosaka lab in Marrakech.
