The Grand Budapest Hotel
Overview
High in the mountains of a vanished Europe, a legendary concierge runs his grand hotel like a work of art. Then everything gloriously falls apart. Ralph Fiennes plays Monsieur Gustave H. with dazzling charm, perfect manners, questionable morals, and total devotion to his wealthy guests. When a beloved elderly lover dies and leaves him a priceless painting, he also leaves him a murder charge. Framed by her furious family, Gustave flees with his loyal young lobby boy Zero, dodging soldiers, prison, and a ruthless hired assassin in a chase as elegant as it is absurd. Told through layers of memory, it is witty, bittersweet, and gorgeous to look at, every frame composed like a painting. Under the comedy is a farewell to a more gracious world, and a friendship that outlasts the hotel's golden age.
