Strong language, violence, brief sexual content, unfeasibly symmetrical cinematography

Step into the zany, pastel-tinted world of Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, where concierge extraordinaire Monsieur Gustave H. is as famous for his impeccable manners as he is for his taste in wealthy, elderly blondes.

When Gustave is accused of murder and finds himself embroiled in a madcap caper involving a priceless Renaissance painting and a family feud, only his trusty lobby boy, Zero, stands between him and disaster.

The all-star cast includes Ralph Fiennes as Gustave, Saoirse Ronan as Agatha, Tony Revolori as Zero, with show-stealing turns from Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Tilda Swinton, Jeff Goldblum, and a dozen more Anderson regulars.
