"The Grand Budapest Hotel" premiered 2014


One of the funniest movies ever, The Grand Budapest Hotel, premiered March 28, 2014. It had an amazing cast including Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abraham, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton and Jeff Goldblum, just to name a few.

Set between the world wars in the fictional country, Republic of Zubrowka, Gustave H. (Fiennes) is a concierge of a famous hotel.  He befriends Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy, who tells the story from the vantage point of his older self (Abraham). It involves a theft of a painting Boy With An Apple and the family inheritance of  Gustave's elderly lover (Swinton). 

It is a wonderful blend of dark humor and slapstick with beautiful cinematography.  With a cast that includes the Incredible Hulk, the Goblin and Voldemort, how can you go wrong?
