The Grand Budapest Hotel
Wes Anderson fans have been waiting in wild anticipation for months now for his latest film to hit theatres. The Grand Budapest Hotel will be out on Friday, March 14th and everyone is in for a treat. Anderson’s films always bring the promise of a star-studded cast, oddball humour and an original storyline. Grand Budapest follows the adventures of Gustave H (played by Ralph Fiennes), the infamous concierge of an upscale hotel who spends his free time befriending the lobby boy and romancing wealthy guests. This film also has appearances from Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe and Owen Wilson. For show times, click here.
