As per usual each and every scene was faultless, if not completely symmetrical then bloody close to it as possible, with the most gorgeous colour schemes!
The film was slightly different to the rest of Wes' collection due to the fact (the very, very very VERY lovely) Jude Law acted as sort of a narrator, for another narrator, narrator inception. Although, because of this, I think the story was a lot easier to grasp and also made it more mainstream so perhaps that factors into why The Grand Budapest Hotel was such bit hit in comparison to all of Wes Anderson's other films such as Moonrise Kingdom or The Darjeeleeing Limited.
And, my God did Ralph Fiennes did a brilliant job as part of the duo protagonist team, partnered with Tony Revolori with his hilariously skinny drawn-on moustache.
Jason Schartzman also made another appearance, along with Bill Murray (OF COURSE), Owen Wilson and Ed Norton as part of his regular cast. Willem Defoe also did a brilliant job, playing a character slightly reminiscent of his green goblin days - a bit evil and menacing.
The film was rather fast paced, I think it could have done with maybe another half an hour, spaced things out a bit more, but all in all it was bloody phenomenal.
From watching Wes' films, a formula seems to come to fruition; each and everyone one seems to have it's own quirky personality and feel to the film, to the script and to the characters, their worlds seem so perfectly imperfected but we wouldn't want them any other way. With each storyline so different, they submerse the viewer scattered with the driest, cleverest of humour crescendoing to a deep and dark moral.
What did I take away from the film?
I want to be a lobby boy
