The Grand Budapest Hotel - 17/03/2014
I have seen a couple of Wes Anderson films so thought I knew what to expect from The Grand Budapest Hotel. What we saw blew those expectations away.
Gustav M, the concierge of the titular hotel who is loved by his guests (a little more than they should be, despite their age), takes under his wing Zero, a lobby boy with aspirations. What follows is a crime caper, murder, family feuds, prison and escape.
The film has a Pythonesque feel to it for the entirety. The way the characters walk, exist, and react in this world is comical, the way they talk is very similar to Wes Anderson films and was sometimes hard to follow. but this made it more interesting.
GHB is a beautiful looking film, bright and vibrant with engaging characters
Part IV had me in hysterics for the whole section, and the ski run is just pure genius.
I cannot lie, this is a bizarre film, and gauging from the reaction from the veteran audience in with us at Cineworld, not to everyone's tastes.
The Cross Keys had us laughing as Our Bill (next door neighbour - see The Monuments Men) turned up again.
