I recently went to see Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel and I have to admit at first I was a bit hesitant to watch this film as the only other film I had seen by him was Moonrise kingdom. Moonrise kingdom left me feeling very odd and questioning what I had just seen however I did enjoy it. The Grand Budapest hotel does a similar thing but on a more enjoyable level. The most clever thing about this film is how it is narrated and that it is a story within a story, within a story. You may think this sounds pretty complicated but it isn't, its similar to how life of Pi is narrated but with an extra level. After the hesitation I got excited by the marvellous reviews it was receiving and the push from my friends to go and see it. I wasn't disappointed and the reviews are right. It's a very entertaining film with a great witty storyline and a suburb cast, which is lead by the very talented Ralph Fiennes. The one liners, silent movie gags and characters really bring the film to life and make it an enjoyable experience.
I would recommend this film to anyone.
