Another fantastic film from Wes Anderson

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2018)

This film is gorgeous. It is visually astounding. Wes Anderson has always written fantastic screenplays and this may be his best one yet. The story involves an hotel concierge M.Gustave and his protege Zero, M.Gustave is highly respected in the hotel business and even manages to become very close to feeble old ladies, when one of them dies, M.Gustave becomes the chief suspect in her murder.
The dialogue is great, very funny and delightful. The story takes many unexpected twists and turns and is perfectly paced, with many cameos from many famous actors. Ralph Fiennes was phenomenal in the movie, his performance is certainly Oscar worthy, whilst many of the other performances in the film were great such as Willem Dafoe and Adrien Brody, Ralph Fiennes remains outstanding.
The shots in this movie are incredible, The Grand Budapest is fantastically directed and the cinematography is in some scenes is jaw dropping. This one of the best looking movies of 2014 and most certainly deserves a best cinematography Oscar nomination. The use of color is extremely well done in this movie, the scenes shot in the hotel are bright and colorful to represent a happy sweet tone, whilst outside the hotel is shot with a bleak and sort of grey tone.
Overall this is certainly one of Wes Anderson best movies, with gorgeous visuals, splendid acting and a fantastic script, this is easily one of the best movies of the year, very funny, incredibly sweet and all with Wes Anderson's flair. The Grand Budapest is a film not to be missed.
