2014 | DCP | US, GER | D: Wes Anderson
Closed captioning and audio description available

Set in a luxury hotel in a fictional eastern European country just before the Second World War, concierge M Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) teaches the new bellhop how to cater to their idiosyncratic guests.

Featuring wall-to-wall stars (including Jude Law, Tilda Swinton, Willem Dafoe, Saoirse Ronan, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray and Owen Wilson) this is Wes Anderson with all the bells and whistles.

‘Anderson the illusion-maker is more than graceful, he’s dazzling, and with this movie he’s created an art-refuge that consoles and commiserates. It’s an illusion, but it’s not a lie.’ – Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com
