Review of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) by Netflic — 13 Apr 2014
This movie is claimed to be a comedy-drama. I would characterize it as a mixture of a theater-of-absurd and a fantasy movie with a few funny twists. The director is Wes Anderson who is quite known. Many famous actors play small roles in the movie and they do not disappoint. The movie is based on works of Stefan Zweig. It is a story of Mr. Gustave, a head concierge of a famous hotel and his protege in training Zero. Their adventures take place in a fictional Republic of Zubrowka while Europe is changing so swiftly between two world wars. Nostalgia for "sweet old times" is obvious.
If you are in for a realistic movie, this one is not for you.
