Wes Anderson's "Grand Budapest Hotel"

[kitsofan34]

This will be out March of next year, I believe.

Here's the poster, which is really pretty:

Was expecting another abstract style-over-substance mess like Moonrise Kingdom or Dajeeling, but this looks like a proper good yarn.

[Old Nehamkin]

I really liked Moonrise Kingdom.

[werfvgbhnj]

Paedo.

[Lord Mandrake]

I didn't find anything gratuitous about Moonrise Kingdom, it's completely wholesome and innocent and only the jaded and wonky eye of a seasoned peadomonster could distort any incidental shots into something randy..
Likewise the glib 'style over substance' accusation can only be from people who utterly miss the point about all Wes Anderson films..

Think I'll try and avoid trailers and stuff for this one anyways. Moonrise Kingdom is my favourite Wes Anderson film, didn't realise I pretty much love him until I saw that one.


...still don't like the Life Aquatic though.

I don't really think it's a paedo movie, I was just making fun of the comments you often hear about it.

I do think it's a big boring mess, though.

Ralph Fiennes channels Leonard Rossiter in the trailer.

Lovely stuff.

IDIOT!!

I presume you've already seen this?

[Stone Cold Jane Austen]

He sounds exactly like Rossiter in some bits of Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of The Were Rabbit

My emotions towards Wes Anderson films are very odd and confused.
Regardless, the trailer for this looks absolutely brilliant. Been meaning to watch Moonrise Kingdom, might watch it tomorrow.

I was thinking more 'Otley' than Rising Damp but that's good.

[Jawaka]

Looks great! Had forgot about Moonrise Kingdom, must get round to watching it.

The Britten in the MR soundtrack was some of the best use of music in a film I've ever come across. Far from being slapped on, it was almost a character in itself and merged beautifully with the plot points, characters and style. He's incredibly thoughtful in how he puts things together, and there was a real poignancy to it (particular the ending which was quietly beautiful).

I can see why people have a problem with him, but there's so much craft and passion for cinema to observe in his work that it's hard to dislike it.

The trailer for this new one looks great. He's playing to his strengths: big hotel allows large cast of quirky characters (amazing cast as always for this one); intricate tracking shots and cross sections of the many rooms; hermetically sealed environment to contain his style; period piece for maximum mannerisms and stylisation.

Jeff Goldlbum + Wes Anderson = exploding quirkometer.

Oh, and Norton seems to be just playing his character in MR again.

SNL's Wes Anderson parody is actually pretty good. Ed Norton makes a good Owen Wilson

Lost interest in Wes Anderson some years ago, but this looks terrific. Unfortunately the trailer seems to give away most of the film. As many trailers do, natch.

I presume you've already seen this?

That's brilliant. Bronagh Gallagher!

I was coming on to post this. His impression is dead on. As is the camera work.

[Bored of Canada]

He's released a new short film with Jason Schwartzman, Prada's footed the bill.
