Weird is the right word

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2014)

Were you expecting comedy? Well, the movie ain't that much funny, there are some truly comic parts, and some scenes that make you smile (e.g. the part when Mr. Gustave delivers the meal to the inmate with scar on his face), but not so much of a comedy in general.
Were you expecting drama? Forget about it. The character development is weird - *spoiler*: Mr. Gustave seems like well-organized man with sense for reality and rather smart, yet we are witnesses to a stupid dialogue when he escapes the jail and all he cares about is his cologne. Also, there are several details that make the drama fall apart, like a taxi in 30s with modern TAXI sing. Moments like that, you forget about the drama and ask yourself - what the heck? Why?
Were you expecting action movie / thriller? Nope. Some people die, we can also see some "action", but the scenes only add more weirdness (downhill ski chase shot in double speed from upside with totally fake terrain - it's like some PC sport game from the end of 90's).
And when you start thinking, the movie is finally moving somewhere, it ends.
Even 30 minutes after the end, I still had that "What????" feeling.
