The most excellent tale, told in the most beautiful way

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2017)

The story of the Grand Budapest Hotel is told in the most beautiful, artistic and amazing way. Set in four levels based on the story of M.Gustav and Zero, told by an elderly Zeron, a young Author (Jude Law) and his elder self (Tom Wilkinson). Level 2: Author Introduction (Tom Wilkinson) - again very brief, as an old man is to tell the tale of his visit to the Grand Budapest. Level 3: Author Visits Hotel (Jude Law) and meets Zero (F.Murray Abraham) - this is many years after the main story and Zero who is now a lot older is there to tell the tale of how he came to own the hotel, by the visiting Author Level 4: Bell Boy Zero and M'Sieur Gustav (Ralph Fiennes) - the main story. Beautifully told story, it is so amazingly beautiful. M.Gustav is the most wonderful eccentric concierge. The imagery is as beautiful as you can find and you will see similarities between this and The Fantastic Mr Fox. Lastly you will find many familiar faces popping up, including Jeff Goldblum, Tilda Swinton, Willem Dafoe, Léa Seydoux, Adrien Brody, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Harvey Keitel and Owen Wilson.
It is one of my favourite films ever, simply it has been put together with the finest detail and a quirky fun and elegant tale. I can understand if you don't share this view, but ask you simply listen to the great word play and the fabulous scenery. There are so many great lines. Hope you enjoy it.
