It did not disappoint.
What can I say? It's a Wes Anderson movie. Written and directed by Wes.
Would you like it? Let's see, did you see his last movie "Moonrise Kingdom?" If you loved it you'll love "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
Even though they're nothing alike. Except, of course, in style. Hotel is a treat for all of your senses. Legendary concierge Monsieur Gustave even smells good most of the time.
Here's what I know: When Wes Anderson calls, half of the stars in Hollywood answer. Here's a partial cast list.
- Ralph Fiennes
- Bill Murray
- Tilda Swinton
- Edward Norton
- Jeff Goldblum
- Tom Wilkinson
- F. Abraham Murray
- Bob Babalan
- Willem Dafoe
- Adrien Brody
- Owen Wilson
- Harvy Keitel
- Jude Law
Besides "Moonrise Kingdom," the other Wes Anderson movies I've loved are "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenebaums."
Here is my final observation - in the form of a question: Does Wes Anderson hate cats?
