Claude Ventura’s documentary Chambre 12, Hotel de Suede, was made for the French television channel Arte in 1993. Ventura checks into room twelve in the hotel’s final week of operation: it is demolished the day after he checks out. Room twelve was one of the principal locations for Jean-Luc Godard’s New Wave masterpiece Breathless, and Ventura’s documentary investigates the production of Godard’s film.
