#28 – The Grand Budapest Hotel

For Future Classics this week, David asked Nicole and Brett to
watch "The Grand Budapest Hotel." This elaborately constructed,
nested diorama of a film is populated with some of the best
character actors working today, a couple of up-and-comers, and a
few just past their leading-role prime. Lobby boy Zero Moustafa,
a foreigner to the fictional country of Zubrowka, becomes the
apprentice and friend of Gustave H., the fastidious, refined, yet
startlingly profane concierge of the Grand Budapest. We dig into
this confection with three spoons, chewing over the brilliance of
Ralph Fiennes, the symmetry of the cinematography, and the
accessibility to non-Wes Anderson fans.


Next week tune in for Around the World. We're watching "RAW."
