Thornton Viaduct

The Grand Budapest Hotel (15)

Wes Anderson's madcap caper. Part of Open-Air Cinema at Thornton Viaduct with Wild Rumpus.

In 2025 we stepped 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.

Audio Description

Listen to the audio-described introduction to The Grand Budapest Hotel, which includes an overview of the setting and introductions to the main characters in the film.

Credits
Open Air Cinema: Thornton Viaduct is part of Bradford: A City of Film, a film exhibition programme across Bradford District for Bradford 2025. Delivered in partnership with National Science and Media Museum with the support of the BFI, awarding National Lottery funding.
