21 March 2014 Film of
Choice at The Plaza Tonight - The Grand Budapest Hotel. I really had no
idea what this film was about, having seen only one trailer which in the
event, bore no relation to the plot whatsoever. However, my interest
was piqued so this evening found me watching a splendid little film
packed to the rafters with stars. This was the tale of Gustave H, the
legendary and infamous Concierge of The Grand Budapest Hotel, a rather
glamorous edifice perched atop a mountain and his protégé and most
trusted friend Zero, The Lobby Boy. This is a tale of friendship,
murder, revenge and deep dark plotting. There were some completely
ridiculous moments which were quite refreshing and several, what I like
to call Guffaw moments where several members of the audience emit a loud
blast of laughter followed by slightly hysterical giggling that you
find yourself joining in with. As I said a host of stars in this film
ranging from Ralph Fiennes, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law and Bill Murray to
Tilda Swinton, Owen Wilson and Harvey Keitel to name a few, but one of
the outstanding performances must go to Tony Revolori, a relatively
unknown young actor who plays Zero, who is In almost every scene. An
entertaining film, worth watching.
