Ahead of the cinematic release of visionary Director Wes Anderson's latest movie 'Asteroid City' we are re-watching one of our favourite Wes Anderson movies: 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'.
The film explores the rich tapestry of 20th-century European culture while playfully addressing dark historical events. Set in the 1930s, the film takes place at the Grand Budapest Hotel, a ski resort led by charismatic concierge Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes), and his loyal apprentice Zero (Tony Revolori). When one of Gustave's lovers dies mysteriously, he becomes the prime suspect, caught in a thrilling adventure involving a priceless painting and a sinister conspiracy. Beneath the enchanting visuals and period charm lies a bittersweet story of a fading way of life in a changing world.
