Fiennes's finest

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Written and directed by Wes Anderson this film stars Ralph Fiennes, Tony Revolori and an all star supporting cast. A writer tells a story of how mad cap antics involving a hotel in central Europe in the 1930s.

From start to finish this is a hilarious farce which never lets up and fits in perfectly with the types of worlds that Wes Anderson usually creates. The plot takes place against the decay of society in Europe which while an interesting theme is not explored as fully as I would like. Despite the large cast it is Ralph Fiennes who completely dominates the film with an amazing performance in a role that could never have been played by anyone else.


4/5
