leave the house and go directly to the cinema now.

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2014)

The last time I saw a film more than twice at the cinema I was 10 years old, and i braved the heat and nicotine fug of the ABC cinema in Streatham south London to stare agog, mouth open, at 'Jaws' the grand Budapest Hotel is more than a film about the noble aspirations of the service industry against the backdrop of fascism, murder and cake, but that's what it IS about,it is the last eloquent rendering of light on canvas since Lumiere, where art, story telling, words, music a winter Olympic chase scene and counting for SOMETHING in this life all sit down together at the table of a saddle of lamb, see it twice, with your most deserving friend and maybe an aunt.
