The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H (Ralph Fiennes), a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori), the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. Acting as a kind of father-figure, M. Gustave leads the resourceful Zero on a journey that involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting; the battle for an enormous family fortune; a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sledges and skis; and the sweetest confection of a love affair - all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.

Inspired by the writings of Stefan Zweig, The Grand Budapest Hotel recreates a by gone era through its arresting visuals and sparkling dialogue. The charm and vibrant colours of the film gradually darken with a sense of melancholy as the forces of history conspire against a vanishing world.

Just recently, ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ has been a big movie so I’ve heard. My Nan went to see the film when it was in cinemas and enjoyed it so much that she bought me the screenplay for my birthday, seeing as I’m not a big film nut.

All I knew going into this screenplay was that it was a quirky story, but I’d caught snippets of the preview when they were advertising it on the TV and it looked funny enough. Plus, I like Ralph Fiennes and Saoirse Ronan.

My first impression after finishing it was definitely that it was bizarre, but very memorable. I really did enjoy the character of M. Gustave, and can picture Ralph Fiennes playing him well in the film.

Although I did enjoy the storyline itself, I have to say that the format of the book is definitely what won it for me. I’d never read a screenplay, so that’s probably why I kept putting it off. Looking back now, it was just like reading a play, really, but there were stills from the movie throughout which really help you visualise the story if you’re someone who hadn’t seen the film like me. The pictures and the descriptions and textual layout made for such a quick and easy read, which always means bonus points if you’re a painfully slow reader like I am.

I did really enjoy it, and would probably consider seeing the film, too, seeing as I like quite a few of the actors. Would recommend if you’re into this format!
