an elegant elegy for the disappearing remnants of early 20th century European glory

Wes Anderson's new film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, is a crazy murder mystery set in an invented Slavic country of the type you'd find in Mission: Impossible or Tintin, and just about following those kinds of rules. It is wickedly funny, filled with strange and wonderful details, and features gorgeous and original art direction. Part of the fun is the wealth of cameos by known stars, some of them quite short indeed. The story's canvas is widened by framing tales that allow us to move through time to different eras in the hotel's life, each era represented visually by a different frame ratio and lenses corresponding to films of that era. The story really belongs to Ralph Fiennes as a super-competent (though unscrupulous) concierge Mr. Gustave, and his new bell boy Zero (Tony Revolori), who form a loyal bond, together through thick and thin. Filled with surprises and skewed comedy, TGBH is, just like the Hotel it portrays, a tribute to bygone eras of film-making, taking turns at being silly, violent, sad, funny, fantastical and cynical.

One of the nice things about watching a Wes Anderson movie is I can be pretty sure I'm going to enjoy it.

Wes puts his trademark cinematography to hard work here - every scene looks perfectly, intricately laid out. Just like I imagine The Grand Budapest would be in real life, every shot of this movie feels expensive.

Ralph Fiennes is obviously the standout in the cast - the script is well-written but he brings it to life, proving he can work well as a comedic talent. A favourite scene is spoiler

. Adrian Brody is excellent too, there's not nearly enough of his character.

So yes, another fine Wes Anderson picture. He seems to be moving from cult hero to becoming genuinely famous now, which is something that can only be encouraged.

Ralph Fiennes is just perfect in his role as M. Gustave. His character made me smile from start to finish and only once before have ever been so entertained by a single actor and film.

The other one being Peter O'Toole as T.E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia.

Really, really appreciate the visual part of the movie and Ralph Fiennes is such a great actor.
The story is quite unusual and interesting, and I feel I must watch the movie again to notice new nuances to the story.
I recommend watching it at least once, even if just to see a movie that is absolutely different and more interesting than most movies.
