The Grand Budapest Hotel

M. Gustave runs a pink hotel in a country that is about to be overrun, and he treats the lobby as if manners could hold it. Ralph Fiennes plays the concierge at full speed: flirtatious, exact, and suddenly afraid. Tony Revolori’s lobby boy is the witness. The Searchlight trailer enjoys the pastry box, the ski chase, and the aspect ratios. Under the symmetry is a story about what a staff remembers after the building is gone.
