I was killing some time one night last week at T's apartment, and he humored me by letting me watch The Grand Budapest Hotel.
I am not such a die-hard Wes Anderson fan that I went back and watched everything in his canon once I discovered him. (I'm not a die hard fan in that vein of many things, particularly not having to do with films. Who has the time?) But I do like his stuff, so I try to see it when it comes out. My introduction was to The Royal Tenenbaums, which I like more each time I see it. I tried to watch Life Aquatic, but fell asleep. Since then I've added Moonrise Kingdom and now Grand Budapest to the collection. I would like to see The Darjeeling Limited, but I just haven't gotten around to it.
Anyway, The Grand Budapest Hotel was all the things I love about Wes Anderson. The cinematography was weird and interesting. The colors were super saturated. The actors were half a beat off.
Bottom line: quirky and great.
