Bobby

Bobby (2006) unfolds in the claustrophobic corridors and neon-lit lounges of the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, in the aftermath of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination. Through a mosaic of vignettes, the film captures the lives of a retired doorman, a beleaguered hotel manager, a fading lounge singer, a beleaguered busboy, and a beautician, their intersecting fates a testament to the shattering impact of a single moment. Director Emilio Estevez distills the chaos and grief into intimate, fleeting portraits of ordinary lives altered by history.
