You can literally smell the perfume of Oscar

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2014)

I've never viewed anything like this before. The Grand Budapest Hotel is quite a classy film. It is something to witness. I am counting at least 5 Oscar nominations for this film. But unfortunately don't see them winning.
I found the story very interesting. It's about M.Gustav and Zero Mustafa, a concierge and a lobby boy from fictional Hotel Budapest. Their adventurous time together. Many years later Mr.Mustafa, now the owner of the hotel tells his story to a writer staying in the hotel.
Ralph Fiennes did a outstanding job portraying the role of M.Gustav, a simple minded concierge at Hotel Budapest without stealing the spotlight all for himself. It's a definite Oscar nomination deserving performance. The young supporting actor Tony Revolori is a new name I am gonna remember in future. Despite so many big names in the cast, Revolori outperformed all. Except for Fiennes of course. The adapted screenplay was super cool. Costume designs were fantastic. The entire cast did a very good job, from Adrian Body to Sarosie Ronan, from William Defoe to Edward Norton. William Defoe as homicidal psychopath Jopling is another part to take from this movie. And for bringing all this beautiful stuffs together, Wes Anderson gets a very huge thumbs up. Marvelous stuff.
Well if this movie is so great, then why am I giving it 8 stars? Well because the film failed to hold my attention at a stretch. Some of the dialogs just went above my head. And for a comedy film I didn't leave laughing.
My final verdict: 84%. And like I've said before, this film will definitely get at least 5 nomination and 2 awards this annual Oscar.
