The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H (Ralph
Fiennes), a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the
wars, and Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori), the lobby boy who becomes his
most trusted friend. Acting as a kind of father figure, M. Gustave leads
the resourceful Zero on a journey that involves the theft and recovery
of a priceless Renaissance painting; the battle for an enormous family
fortune; a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sleds and skis; and
the sweetest confection of a love affair - all against the backdrop of a
suddenly and dramatically changing Continent. Inspired by the writings
of Stefan Zweig, The Grand Budapest Hotel recreates a bygone era through
its arresting visuals and sparkling dialogue. The charm and vibrant
colors of the film gradually darken with a sense of melancholy as the
forces of history conspire against our hero and his vanishing way of
life. Written and directed by Wes Anderson, whose films include The
Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, and Fantastic Mr. Fox. The film also
stars Jude Law, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey
Keitel, Adrian Brody, Saoirse Ronan, LÉa Seydoux, Bill Murray and Owen
Wilson.
