FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1
I love Wes Anderson films. I would say this is my third favourite of his (Rushmore and Moonrise Kingdom slightly edge it out). This Anderson film has all
the same bells and whistles but I believe this is the most action packed of all
his filmography. Very fun stuff.
2
Like
usual, it’s the art direction that blows my mind. I love Anderson’s attention
to detail. Every location is its own character. I also loved the amount of
signage found at the hotel.
3
I like the way Anderson uses trucking to move the camera left or right,
it usually ends in a wonderful reveal of quirkiness.
4
There’s a great running gag of inspired speeches getting interrupted.
Classic.
5
Again, Anderson gathers a brilliant cast of favourites and newbies. It’s really
like he’s putting on a play with every new movie. Fiennes is a fantastic
addition to the Anderson family.
RECOMMENDATION: Great fun at the theatre
UPCOMING REVIEWS: Divergent
