The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) // Movie Reviews // Tube Culture

Director Wes Anderson's latest work The Grand Budapest Hotel is again a beautifully shot and well scripted piece. The story begins when a girl reading a chapter of The Author's memoir where The Author's visit to The Grand Budapest Hotel in 1968, where he met the elderly owner Zero Moustafa. During their encounter, the owner told the tale of his youth which he worked as an apprentice of the legendary M. Gustave, and their adventure to clear Gustave's name after he was framed for murdering one of his old mature lovers.

The film has the visual trademarks of the director - overhead shots, symmetrical shots and clean production design - which are the reason why we love him. He even goes further to split the three different eras by shooting them in three different points. It also carries a chase scene and gun fight scene that only Wes Anderson can carry out with a great balance of serious drama and comical performances. On the storyside, this film's bleak ending which gives the comical adventure before even more enjoyable. This is again a great poetic work by the director.
