This is a roller-coaster ride.

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2014)

This movie is simply a gem and I am glad it exists in the film world! Wes Anderson grants us the privilege of witnessing this visual masterpiece. I love the dialogue because it is so creative and engagingly witty... You fear and root for the characters because they are well-crafted and a treat to watch. I especially like the transformation of Harvey Keitel and William Dafoe, along with Tilda Swinton's fast-mouthed Madame D who is passionately in love with Monsieur Gustave in a tough kind of way. Such amazing characters put into delightful scenes are hard to not laugh at and adore. Some part of me wishes this was a true story because it is a classic tragicomedy. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys odd humor!!!
