The Grand Budapest Hotel


  As with my previous review this is classic Wes Anderson,  the reason for following on with this film straight after is simple... I just watched it.  As I'm sure you are aware this came out last year (2013) it is quint essential Anderson at its best.   I really enjoyed this film which is a story that spans the life of a simple concierge of the grand Budapest hotel.  It starts at the very end and quickly returns to the very beginning.   Great acting throughout from Ralph Fiennes as M. Gustave as said concierge.   Supported by a plethora of greats including Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Willem Defoe, F. Murray Abraham and Harvey Kietel.  The stand out parts are both relatively unknowns though, first Anthony Quinonez as Zero is class throughout simply a glance at camera or his ability to pull you in emotionally.  Finally Saoirse Ronan as Agatha who like my previous review is a young actress who I see a great future.  She plays here part perfectly start to finish.  The cinematography in this film stands out from vast wilderness to detail within museum and prison corridors.  I truly enjoyed this movie and look forward to his next outing. 

8.5 out of 10
