This movie is simply brilliant. Colorful imagery, fantastic cinematography, as well as editing and production design. This movie had everything, and just about everyone.
The Grand Budapest Hotel offers us a a story like no other about the owner of the Grand Budapest Hotel during the time between the world wars, M. Gustave and his faithful lobby boy Zero who follows him around endlessly. Gustave takes us on a journey as he is chased by police for a painting he "stole" from a woman who was his former lover who died and left the painting (which is extremely priceless) for Gustave in her will. And man, we are taken on an amazing, fantastic adventure. The cinematography for this film is phenomenal! Every line, every shot, every action sequence was beautifully shot and I give the director great props for doing this. He even changes the aspect ratio of the film a couple times based on when the movie was taking place. Every role from Ralph Fiennes to Bill Murray was awesome. Seeing all these actors come together for such a brilliant movie is truly inspiring. The movie is also incredibly and cleverly written. Every line has you thinking.. "did they really just say that?" and the movie leaves you asking "did that all happen?" The movie is truly suspenseful and one I will be watching for years.
