If The Grand Budapest Hotel was an entry in the dictionary, its definition would say nothing short of spectacular, because it just is.
Let me give you a few reasons why you should watch or re-watch Wes Anderson's latest flick...
The cast. The top-billed cast.
 |
| Ralph Fiennes as Monsieur Gustave H. |
 |
| Tony Revolori as young Zero Moustafa |
 |
| F Murray Abraham as old Zero Moustafa |
 |
| Adrien Brody as Dmitri Desgoffe-und-Taxis |
 |
| Tilda Swinton as Madame D. |
 |

Need I say more?
It's Ralph Fiennes like you've never seen him before.
Forget Lord Voldemort. He has made his mark as the great Gustave, hotel concierge extraordinaire!
The mouth-watering pastries from Mendl's.
They're mouth-watering, and yet, too beautiful to eat.

It is a work of art in itself.
The breath-taking cinematography and the colourful and inventive sets and props add more to the movie magic department.
 |
| The hotel in the movie was inspired by real hotels in Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic and in Budapest, Hungary. |
 |
| The grand hotel lobby |
 |
| The spa or pool area |
 |
| There's so much pink in the movie, but it did not annoy me. That's something, I must say! |
 |
| More food porn from Mendl's sweets |
It's darkly funny, delightfully gruesome, and awkwardly romantic.
Just a few other elements that made this the best film I've seen in 2014 so far.
It's Wes Anderson's best movie yet.
*****
