A Visual Treat and Delight for Movie Lovers

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2020)

Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors. It is his unique taste in portraying his movies which makes him stand apart.
The Grand Budapest Hotel is also one of his master creations.
Describing the title of the movie itself, it has been said that the Grand Budapest Hotel was a picturesque, elaborate and once widely celebrated establishment and around this very hotel revolves our story. It is about the adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge between the wars and his favorite lobby boy Zero Moustafa, who turns out to be his protége, his companion, his brother and also his sole heir. The story gains pace and interest when one of Gustava's close friend and client dies and leaves her priceless Renaissance painting to him. The battle for an enormous family fortune begins hence-- all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing scenario. The war has its own role to play in the story.
The narrative enthrals and mesmerizes the audience with the story. There's not one shot that seems dragged or uninteresting. According to me, the portrayal of the characters are the most important in this movie. How each character holds their personality till the end is remarkable.
The movie's visuals are very charming. Certain frames look like paintings. If you are observant enough, you'd see shades of one particular colour in each of these frames, especially pink. This is one of the things about Wes Anderson's movies. He is very artistic in the way he portrays his movies. His approach is minimalistic, colourful and symmetric.
In short, I would definitely recommend you to watch this movie and have a good time.
