The Grand Budapest Hotel
Why we love it ❤️
Pure Wes Anderson but make it a high-stakes heist 🎨 This film serves up found family, dark humor, and an aesthetic that manages to be both meticulously constructed and genuinely funny. Ralph Fiennes as M. Gustave is one of his best performances, playing a man who treats hotel concierge work with the gravity of high diplomacy.
What is The Grand Budapest Hotel about?
The Grand Budapest Hotel chronicles the eccentric adventures of M. Gustave, a legendary concierge at a prestigious European hotel during the interwar period. He forms an unlikely mentorship with Zero Moustafa, a young lobby boy who becomes his trusted protégé. Their bond is tested when they become embroiled in a whimsical yet perilous caper involving a stolen Renaissance painting, a battle for a vast family fortune, and a thrilling escape across a continent on the brink of war.
