THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (2014)

FILMS FROM THE 21st CENTURY
(Post 18 of 50)

Some quick takes on the most relatively recent listings from the
1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list


Wes Anderson likes a lot of quirky characters and wild improbable plots and...I'm just not sure why I don't like his films quite as much as others do. I appreciate his style in a wacky comedic chase like The Grand Budapest Hotel, and he certainly has brought together an all-star cast headed by the surprisingly funny Ralph Fiennes, but I find this particular film more clever than laugh-out-loud funny.

I've got a few more Wes Anderson films to go through, so I haven't given up joining the club yet.
