Review: "The Grand Hotel Budapest" is a picaresque tale presented as a suspense complicated crazy action packed stuffing full of old world charm, visual gags, exotic places and very entertaining characters.

Director Wes Anderson creates a unique world that is colorful, simple and complex, where viewers could draw enthusiastic about the film avant-garde and the arts.

Reported in a non-linear fashion, the story unfolds in three time zones - in 1985, 1968 and 1930, after the First World War

It is owned by the spa glorious past, the Grand Hotel Budapest on the fictional Republic Zubrowka.

Theatrically staged, the story begins with a writer, played by Tom Wilkins, recalling his chance meeting with Mustafa zero (F. Murray Abraham), the owner of the hotel, at a dinner party and tells how he ended up in the teen runaway hotel lobby working as a child.

Then, in a five-part story that describes how to quickly taken under the wing of the concierge of the head is extravagant and highly respected Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) and how it landed to be the owner hotel!

At the heart of the story is fun and unconventional relationship between man and the head concierge lobby.

Tony Revolori endearing as the young Mustafa zero. With unwavering youth dignity, which makes everything from picking up the morning newspaper Gustave out of jail.

He also falls in love with the beautiful rolling scar face Agatha precisely played by Saoirse Ronan. Unfortunately, their relationship develops with a weak and short-lived.

Fiennes as always rewarding Gustave is energetic, charismatic and captivating. Constantly sprayed with his signature cologne L'Air Panache has a lot of fun that the man of noble ladies. It is also a perfectionist who expects nothing but the size of the office. It is easy to time and comic action.

The best lover is the octogenarian grumpy Gustave Madame D, played by Tilda Swinton, whose hair Marge Simpson, light blue lenses and wrinkled prosthesis is confusing.

His premature death increases the frame. Although none of the other characters are particularly deep cameo sometimes reveal intricate details of the most interesting and fun way.

The Anderson co-wrote the story and Hugo Guinness was inspired by the writings of the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig. But unlike the stories of Zweig, "The Grand Hotel Budapest" is treated as a comedy with some worrying times. It also has dark tones in the parts where we were told that the fate of the main characters.

Visually, the frames are immaculate, large and luxurious. They are big and stupid at the same time. The scenes are framed in different formats for different periods and the camera movement is dramatic.

The background score by Alexandre Desplat keeps the film moving at a challenging career.
