Inspirada en la obra del escritor Stephen Zweig, la nostalgia y la melancolía por un mundo que ha dejado de existir alterna con los golpes de humor, la ironía, la inteligencia y el gusto por el detalle y la belleza que podemos ver en todas las anteriores películas del director tejano Wes Anderson.
Eso sin contar con poder disfrutar del trabajo de actores como Jude Law, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Harvey Keitel, Ralph Fiennes y muchos más.
His new film focuses on a hotel concierge called Monsieur Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) and a bellhop called Zero (newcomer Tony Revolori) who endeavour to recover an inheritance left to Gustave by a wealthy dowager. Set in the 1930s – "before the war," Anderson says, "the storm coming" – their efforts are complicated by the presence of SS-like troops, here known as the ZZ. The Grand Budapest Hotel isn't actually set in Budapest, or even definitely in Hungary, rather a composite European town that has cobbled streets, an English-language newspaper and a funicular train. "I wanna make a story about characters, their experiences," Anderson tells me, "but at the same time I wanna do something about their world."
