Description
Book Synopsis
The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the two World Wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, a raging battle for an enormous family fortune, and the sweetest confection of a love affair - all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.
With sparkling dialogue, arresting visuals, vibrant charm, and a slowly building melancholy, The Grand Budapest Hotel is both sophisticated comedy and historical pastiche, the portrait of a hero (of sorts) in a dazzling but vanishing world.
In addition to the screenplay, this volume also contains a gallery of images from the film.
Review Quotes
"There are very few American filmmakers with the ablity to articulate such an original, idiosyncratic vision and the means to express that vision so freely...This movie makes a marvelous mockey of history, turning its horrors into a series of graceful jokes and mischeivous gestures." -- A O Scott, The New York Times
