A legendary concierge and his young protégé are swept into a theft, an inheritance and a vanishing Europe. The Grand Budapest Hotel was released in 2014.
It is playful, melancholy and packed with detail worth looking at twice.
What makes The Grand Budapest Hotel a strong choice tonight is not simply the premise, but the way it gives that premise room to gather force. It rewards an uninterrupted watch, when its tone and rhythm can do their work.
Choose it when you want a film with a clear point of view rather than something to half-watch. Save it now, then come back to PLOT with the scene, performance or feeling that stays with you.
