The Grand Budapest Hotel: A Gripping Tale of Alliance, Fulfilled Promises and Nobility.

Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel is a stylish adventure comedy. With its hilarious dialogue and enthralling plot, it is without doubt his best film to date.

The film follows the adventures of Monsieur Gustave H, concierge of the titular hotel and his lobby boy Zero Moustafa. Together, they become embroiled in a story of murder, theft and escape, all against the backdrop of war.

Despite its action filled plot, the comedic element of the film is highly sophisticated. A key example of this would be the hilarious fight scene between Dmitri and Gustave. While this particular scene’s dialogue is childish at times, it’s not done in a way that cheapens the plot.

Anderson’s star-studded overall cast gave a spellbinding performance. However, it was Ralph Fiennes who stole the show as Gustave. Initially vain and somewhat egocentric, Gustave’s character develops beautifully throughout the film, eventually becoming a fiercely loyal father figure to Zero.

The Grand Budapest Hotel is stylish yet maintains integrity. It’s a film that finds Anderson using elaborate settings to give its audience a nostalgic reminder of classic movies. Its deeply emotional ideas and bittersweet undertone is a shining example of inventive storytelling that you can’t help but fall in love with.
