IS BATTLE READY and saw THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL today. I am a fan of the eccentric films of Wes Anderson. I think most of them are pretty well done but I know they rub some the wrong way for style over substance. I had always put RUSHMORE ahead of allother Anderson films but I am in love with this movie. It is his most straightforward storytelling since THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX and is just a whiz bang treasure trove of cinema. It is beautifully shot and the score by Alexandre Desplat is infectious. It also boasts what maybe the best performance of Ralph Fiennes career. It is early in the year but this film deserves to be in the Oscar race. I would also say while it has many of the quirky Anderson flourishes, it maybe his most accessible work ever. If you love Anderson, it will become one of the directors favorites for you. If you dont like him you may still enjoy it. TGBH tells a simple story with visual flourish, panache and a Ralph Fiennes performance for the ages.....
