It must have been the AMAs or those newly syndicated Hollywood Film Awards that I watched. It’s hazy but when I saw the preview trailer for this movie, I was excited. To be frank, it was the only clip that I remembered and Bill Murray is the man. Not to mention, it was directed by Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums). It was the only movie I wanted to see. I was actually vocal about it. Fast forward and here I am with an email courtesy of its production house, 20th Century Fox, and all of the promotional materials in its glory. Behind-the-scenes footage included. Honestly, it is days like these when I love my job the most. Now as the official movie description will have it:

    The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of legendary concierge Gustave H. and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft of a priceless painting; a raging battle for an enormous family fortune; and a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sleds, and skis – all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.

As rich and timely as the film, in my opinion, the photographers and graphic designers have done a great job of capturing the essence of the film.

Plot
Though it’s a wild-goose chase, you’ll learn a thing or two about the imperfections of friendship and more.

Characters and costumes
You’ll fall in love with every character you meet. Especially, Zero Moustafa.

Who wouldn’t love to see the makings of such a great film? I wish I was on set. It lets you know that will a great budget, skills and a great creative team, you can achieve just about anything. Let your dreaming continue and run wild.
