THE GRAND
BUDAPEST HOTEL
The Illustrated Screenplay
By Wes Anderson
"Wes Anderson's captivating 1930s-set caper
offers a vibrant and imaginative evocation of a
bygone era." – Variety
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; a raging battle for an enormous family fortune; and the sweetest confection of a love affair - all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.
With sparkling dialogue, arresting visuals, vibrant charm and a slowly building melancholy, The Grand Budapest Hotel is both sophisticated comedy and historical pastiche, the portrait of a hero (of sorts) in a dazzling but vanishing world.
Inspired in part by the writings of Stefan Zweig.
