The movie 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.

It's goofy, zany, crazy, just weird, BUT it has its charm. The movie races forward at an incredible pace, the acting performances are absolutely brilliant and hilarious (the dialogue in the confessional booth speaks for itself: “Those fuckers!”) and the whole soundtrack is simply a masterpiece and perfectly complements the pace of the narrative. When I finished watching it, it didn’t exactly leave me with a wholesome feeling, but now that I’ve had enough time to think about it and turn it over in my head, The Grand Budapest Hotel basically doesn’t have a single flaw and .... yes, I'm already looking forward to watching it again.
