i rather liked GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL. Just dont go in stimulated on 10 cups of coffee, it may either drive you insane or enhance the experience, im not sure which. I got a bit lost story-wise about half-way through but still enjoyed it and the great production design. A good cast as well, Ralph Fiennes always delivers a fine performance whether hes playing a ruthless nazi or fruity concierge. Shot in a multitude of formats, including technovision, presented mostly in the 4:3 ratio (which is pleasing to see) this is also one of first recent films to bring back some practical FX, miniatures, mattes and process shots, which I noticed Roman Coppola got a significant credit for. (You may remember Roman did a great job with the in-camera FX shots for his dads DRACULA back in 92) Be sure to stay for Alexandre Deplats rousing closing title music. Not a great film, but an enjoyable one with a likable charm.
