Beautiful Cinematography and Tremendous Screenplay

Rating: 9/10 (18 February 2016)

I am a great admirer of how Wes Anderson and Robert Yeoman use different lenses and camera angles for each era, or just for different scenes. The emphasis of colours in this picture is remarkable, the most vibrant scene in my opinion would be the simple scene in the lift near the introduction. The red and the purple compliment each other brilliantly, I like pictures to be, not minimalistic, just not too overcrowding. I must have watched The Grand Budapest about 4 times, and yet, i still laugh at the sometimes bluntness of Gustave, or the will reading scene where the 'fighting' ends the scene. Marvellous. I have watched a few films in which Wes collaborates with Robert and the various group of actor that have been repeatedly included in productions, and they are mostly the same; artistic, exciting and original. The use of books in the film looks good, with a close up focus of books whenever they are seen shows great detail. The use of different era's at the start and end of the film gives real perspective.
