Four Rooms is a great example of Roald Dahl's work..
Four Rooms is a 1995 American anthology comedy film directed by Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino, each directing a segment of it that in its entirety is loosely based on the adult short fiction writings of Roald Dahl, especially Man from the South which is the basis for the last one, Penthouse - "The Man from Hollywood" directed by Tarantino. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Rooms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Rooms

- jdminhbg 10y agoWow, I had no idea Road Dahl wrote adult fiction at all, much less that Four Rooms was based on it. Great pointer.
- Synaesthesia 10y agoHis adult fiction and short stories are excellent, he also wrote erotic literature which is quite good too.
- david-given 10y agoHis autobiography is good, too; Boy is his younger days, including such details as the Great (Dead) Mouse Plot and his time at a series of awful, awful 1930s British public school[1] and the many times he was caned there; Going Solo is about him as a young man in pre-war Empire Africa and then, later, during the war, as one of the last RAF fighter pilots helping hold back the Germans in Greece; he got shot down in the Sahara and nearly went blind. They're hilariously funny and terrifying and disturbing and wonderful, all at the same time. [1] 'Public school', in UK parlance, means the same thing as 'private school' in the US, except different. We have private schools as well. They're different too.
