The Grand Budapest Hotel

After watching hundreds of movies, you naturally forget some of them. This is a one almost impossible to forget, packed with adventure, comedy and drama.

I know I'll tick some readers off by opening up this piece by saying that usually I'm not a fan of Wes Anderson's films. But it's the truth.

(Contains spoilers): What I like about certain scenes in the movie is the way they turn certain film clichés on their heads, with unexpected results. The most obvious one is when Serge's sister's head comes out of the basket, instead of Agathe's, which we are led to expect.

I am a great admirer of how Wes Anderson and Robert Yeoman use different lenses and camera angles for each era, or just for different scenes. The emphasis of colours in this picture is remarkable, the most vibrant scene in my opinion would be the simple scene in the lift near the introduction.

...by 'fascists'?

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) - [10/10]I've spent a long time trying to word this review... and I can't.

While retaining Wes Anderson's unique camera lens, composition, color editing, and music features, storytelling and character creation are equally successful.

To be frank, I think his world had vanished long before he ever entered it. But I will say, he certainly sustained the illusion with a marvelous grace.

Throughout the movie, I felt how happy it was to be with great actors. It feels like I'm eating hot and delicious rice soup after a long time.
