Room 666 (French: Chambre 666) is a 1982 documentary film directed by German film director Wim Wenders.

During the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, Wenders set up a static camera in room 666 of the Hotel Martinez and provided selected film directors a list of questions to answer concerning the future of cinema. Each director is given one 16 mm reel (approximately 11 minutes) to answer the questions. The principal question asked was, "Is cinema a language about to get lost, an art about to die?" Wenders then edited this footage and added an introduction.

Directors interviewed include Steven Spielberg, Jean-Luc Godard, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, who died less than a month after filming. The film was later screened out of competition at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

Synopsis

Durant le festival de Cannes en 1982, Wim Wenders a invité les cinéastes présents à se rendre tour à tour dans la chambre 666 de l'hôtel Martinez et à mettre en marche la caméra et le magnétophone qu'il y avait placés pour répondre à une seule question : «le cinéma est-il un langage en train de se perdre, un art qui va mourir ? ».

Le réalisateur "Nicholas Ray" est impatient de terminer un dernier film avant sa mort imminente d'un cancer. Wim Wenders travaille sur son propre film Hammett (1983) à Hollywood, mais s'envole pour New York pour aider Ray à réaliser son dernier souhait. L'intention initiale de Ray est de faire un film de fiction sur un peintre mourant qui navigue vers la Chine pour trouver un remède à sa maladie. Lui et Wenders discutent de cette idée, mais c'est évidemment irréaliste compte tenu de l'état de santé de Ray.

A film crew in Portugal shoots a black-and-white science fiction film about the survivors on a post-apocalyptic Earth, titled The Survivors. The shooting stops when the production runs out of film stock and money. In an abandoned hotel, the crew waits for money to arrive or a sign from vanished producer Gordon. As they grow restless and bored, the film depicts some of their philosophical thoughts and emotional reactions. Director Friedrich Munro finally sets off to find Gordon in Los Angeles who hides in a mobile home because of money he owes to the Mafia.

Lisbon Story is partially a sequel to Wenders' 1982 film, The State of Things. The fictitious movie director in the previous film, Friedrich Munro, reappears, again played by Patrick Bauchau. In Lisbon Story Friedrich has moved to Lisbon, Portugal (the country where The State of Things was set). The principal character, Philip Winter (Rüdiger Vogler), a sound engineer, receives a postcard invitation from Friedrich to come to Lisbon to record sounds of the capital city for his forthcoming film. On arriving, the director is nowhere to be found, though he leaves cryptic messages. This sets in motion a mysterious quest.

Soft and Hard brings to light questions regarding images and language, in film and television, but does not necessarily set out to answer the questions. Soft and Hard is one of many video projects Godard experimented with during this time of his career. There are several key scenes during Soft and Hard that directly correlate with the questions being asked about TV compared to film. The video starts with the words Soft and Hard appearing in text on the screen. Godard and Miéville then use voiceover of them speaking while random images appear on the screen. A slow motion shot of Godard swinging a tennis racquet follows.

Ce travail de citoyen et d’espion, d’explorateur et de peintre, de chroniqueur et d’aventurier qu’ont si bien décrit tant d’auteurs, de Casanova à Gilles Perrault, n’est-ce pas une belle définition du métier de cinéaste que l’on a envie d’appliquer à Renoir, à Becker, au Vigo de l’Atalante, à Duvivier, aussi bien qu’à Truffaut ou Demy. A Max Ophuls et aussi à Bresson. Et à des metteurs en scène moins connus, Grangier, Gréville ou encore Sacha, qui, au détour d’une scène ou d’un film, illuminent une émotion, débusquent des vérités surprenantes. Je voudrais que ce film soit un acte de gratitude envers tous ceux, cinéastes, scénaristes, acteurs et musiciens qui ont surgi dans ma vie. La mémoire réchauffe : ce film, c’est un peu de charbon pour les nuits d’hiver.
