Audience Choice #1: The Grand Budapest Hotel
English | USA, Germany | 100 mins | 2014 | Cert: 15A | Dir: Wes Anderson
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend.
The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune -- all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.
Receiving widespread critical acclaim at the time of its release and now considered one the best films of the 2010s, The Grand Budapest Hotel was nominated for nine Oscars at the Academy Awards in 2015 and won four: Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Production Design, and Best Original Score.
