Cinematography at its Best

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2015)

After the release of "Moonrise Kingdom", Wes Anderson continues his work with a similarly excellent film, "The Grand Budapest Hotel". The color palletes in each scene are planned to perfection, coinciding with the costume and set design. The dialogue is as witty as expected. Every scenario is delivered with a corkiness that is lacking in many Hollywood films, seeming almost British at times.
Ralph Fiennes is as brilliant as ever in his role of the concierge and leaves you with no option but to cheer him on. At the film's conclusion I hoped it would never end...but sadly...the humor could not be forever :(
I've spoken with a few viewers who did not enjoy the film. The unorthodox pace and editing leaves some feeling bored, but anyone who enjoys the art of filmmaking will find this movie as satisfying as can be. If you're looking for a laugh, along with every aspect that makes a film aesthetically pleasing, look no further. Grand Budapest Hotel is one of the best films to come out in many years.
