A writer encounters the owner of an aging high-class hotel, who tells him of his early years serving as a lobby boy in the hotel's glorious years under an exceptional concierge | Alexandre Desplat also received an Oscar, and with its hauntingly hypnotic and entrancing tones it richly deserved it as to me it was by far the best score of those nominated |

6While it isn't quite flawless, and it is easy to see why a number of people don't like or will not like it due to a lot of the cast's roles being pretty short, only Gustave and Zero being fully fleshed out of the characters and those who have a problem with Anderson's style , 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' is a visually stunning, hugely entertaining, wonderfully weird and impeccably cast and acted film | Gustave Ralph Fiennes , a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa Tony Revolori , the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend |

In conclusion, a wonderful film and a hotel well worth revisiting more than once if to one's taste | My only criticism of the film is that Harvey Keitel and Saoirse Ronan are underused and just get lost amongst everything else, an unrecognisable Tilda Swinton also has little to do but still gives a bat-out-of-hell performance |
Murray Abraham, Jeff Goldblum, Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson give very entertaining performances, while Edward Norton is delightfully droll and Adrien Brody and especially Willem Dafoe bring sinister foreboding to the film.
'The Grand Budapest Hotel' boasts an impeccable cast and pretty much everybody does a splendid job, though many of the roles are short | Anderson directs superbly, the story balances darkness and quirkiness to great effect the prison scene is unforgettable and it's never too simplistic or convoluted though of course the visuals, dialogue and performances make much more of an impact and the screenplay is a sublime mixture of the dark, the quirky, the witty and the subtle delivered with rapid-fire |
