I know I'm not the first to blog about this, but have you guys seen Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel yet? If not, please go and see it soon, it's one of the best films I've seen in ages, and also, a total visual treat for your eyes! I've been excited about seeing it ever since I saw that gorgeous pink hotel in the poster, and the trailer just made me even more excited. I'm a big fan of Anderson's films; The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Darjeeling Limited are two of my favourites, and this new one was right up there with them. Absolutely hilarious, gripping, so well acted (Ralph Fiennes is just brilliant!) and also, just really flippin' beautiful! All the way through the film I was swooning at the staging and the beautiful symmetry, the colours, the costumes, the typography of the chapter headings, even the branding of the cake company, Mendl's. (I found an interesting interview with the film's graphic designer - what an awesome job!). Anyway, hope you enjoy this beautiful film as much as I did. I want to go and see it again now please. And I want that poster on my wall.
