action

The plot of the film is set in the Republic of Zubrowka , a fictional state named after the Polish buffalo grass vodka Żubrówka “on the easternmost border of the European continent”, “below the Alpine Sudeten Forest ” during the interwar period . The eponymous Grand Budapest Hotel takes the central role of the plot . The now somewhat shabby, spacious Grand Hotel still has a remnant of the splendor of the Habsburg era .

The director uses the stylistic device of the frame narration on four time levels in five different chapters:

prolog
The film begins in the present. In the old cemetery of the small town of Lutz, a young woman approaches the bust of a writer venerated in Zubrowka with his book in her hands, which is called like the film. She begins to read a chapter.
In it, the aged, nameless author tells from the perspective of 1985 about a stubborn writer's block, which led him to travel to the climatic health resort of Nebelsbad to the Grand Budapest Hotel in August 1968 . The old regular Zéro Moustafa, who will soon be recognized as the hotel owner, shall submit to the author, a young writer in by a huge alpine mural with a steep waterfall and Capricorn on a tight rock Spruce large dining his experiences as a Page in the period 's First and Second World War . The young hotel servant was an apprentice and protégé of the concierge Monsieur Gustave H. The film deals with the experiences of the two in the following.
Part 1 - M. Gustave
This is followed by Zéro's report in another period, beginning in 1932, when the refugee boy began his work as a “lobby boy” in the hotel's last glorious year. Zubrowka is on the eve of the Second World War, but this is of minor importance for the gallant Gustave, who is always abundantly perfumed with “L'Air de Panache”. He knows how to secure the favor of women and men. One of them is the 84-year-old widow Céline Villeneuve Desgoffe and Taxis, known as Madame D., with whom Gustave spends the night on her last stay at the hotel.
Part 2 - Madame CVD u. T.
Zéro picks up the latest newspapers from the newsagents. On the front page he reads that the wealthy Madame D. died under mysterious circumstances. Gustave and Zéro travel by train to Lutz Castle, some distance away. During a border check, Gustave was able to save his stateless protégé Zéro from arrest because of his provisional travel documents, this time according to the old rules of decency with Inspector Henckels. When the will is opened in Lutz, it turns out that Madame D. Gustave had the priceless painting Young Man with Apple by the fictional Dutch Renaissance painter Johannes van Hoytl the Elder. J. (1613-1669) inherited.
As a result, a conflict with her son Dmitri Desgoffe and Taxis is developing. To save the painting from the greedy family, Gustave steals it in Lutz and later hides it in a safe in the grand hotel. The death of Madame D. is also an occasion for the police to investigate. Gustave is arrested by Dmitri's intrigue on suspicion of murder and taken to the cell block of the dreaded Check-Point 19 internment camp.
Part 3 - Check-Point 19 Criminal Internment Camp (Check-Point 19 Internment Camp)
Zéro visits Gustave in prison and tells him what lawyer Kovacs has found out. Madame D. is said to have died of strychnine poisoning, and the key witness for Gustave's perpetration is Madame D's butler Serge X.
In the meantime, JG Jopling, a contract killer with skull-patterned knuckles hired by Dmitri, goes in search of Serge X. He blackmailed his sister where Serge X. was in hiding. With stonemasonry tools baked into artistic cakes by Agatha, Zéro Gustave helps to escape from prison. Under the guidance of fellow prisoner Ludwig, Gustave and a small group of other prisoners dig their way out of the cell to the sewer system. During their escape, they overpower the guards in the underground passages, killing fellow prisoner Günther. They come to light at the shaft of “Drainage Tunnel B”. There the prisoners part ways, and Gustave and Zéro now try to prove his innocence.
Part 4 - The Society of the Crossed Keys
Gustave and Zéro stand defenseless in a field where there is only a telephone booth. This extraordinary situation justifies Gustave being allowed to enlist the help of the secret "Society of Crossed Keys". He has a collect call with M. Ivan in the hotel "Excelsior Palace". M. Ivan calls M. Georges in the "Chateau Luxe", who calls M. Dino in the "Palazzo Principessa", who then calls M. Robin in the "Hôtel Côte du Cap", and M. Robin finally talks to M. Martin in the "Ritz Imperial". The “Society of Crossed Keys” finds out where Serge X is and sees to it that M. Ivan brings Gustave and Zéro to the train by car. So both arrive in October 1932 in the snow-covered "foothills near Gabelmeister's peak".
From the observatory on the summit they are referred to the cable car, the cabin of which then stops on the open route. After changing to a second cabin in the air, you get off at the monastery “Our Holy Father”. There they are asked to the confessional where the mysteriously disappeared Serge X is. He is the only person who can confirm Gustave's alibi for the night of the murder. Serge X. witnessed the drafting of a second will of Madame D., which was only valid in the event of a violent death. This had already destroyed her family, but Serge X. was able to make a copy of it. While still in the confessional, Serge X is strangled by JG Jopling.
With a sledge, Zéro and Gustave follow Jopling, who is fleeing the monastery on skis, but ultimately fall. On an edge of ice, Gustave only hangs by his hands while Jopling tries to loosen this edge in order to let Gustave fall. Zéro manages to push the assassin into the depths and save his mentor Gustave. In the meantime, Inspector Henckels appears, who has found Gustave. Gustave and Zéro flee with Jopling's motorcycle and go in search of the second will mentioned by Serge X.
Part 5 - The Second Copy of the Second Will
M. Gustave and Zéro disguised as suppliers
Back at the Grand Budapest Hotel, the two discover that the fascist military (Zig-Zag Division) has requisitioned the establishment and, in view of the imminent outbreak of war , wants to turn it into a barracks . Horrified Gustave vows never to cross the threshold of the hotel again. Zero's lover Agatha agrees to get the picture from the hotel safe, but is discovered by Dmitri.
After the chase and exchange of fire, Agatha jumps out of the window. The picture remains hanging on the facade, and the last will of Madame D. "Only open in the event of my murder", hidden by Serge in the picture frame, emerges. She was the mysterious owner of the hotel and bequeathed assets, Lutz Castle, factories for weapons, medicines and textiles, a major newspaper publisher and the Grand Budapest Hotel to Gustave, which made him wealthy.
On the 21st day of the occupation, Zéro and Agatha traveled with Gustave by train to Lutz. You come to the same border crossing as you did when you drove to the opening of the will. But now the old rules no longer seem to apply. Henckel's courtesy at the time has given way to the rudeness of the ruthless occupation soldiers, and Gustave is shot dead on November 17th during a dispute over Zéros, still a temporary travel document. Zéro, now in turn the sole heir of Gustave, vows to continue the legacy of the Grand Budapest Hotel, but ongoing conflicts are taking their toll and slowly the ravages of time are beginning to gnaw at the hotel. Two years later, Agatha and their son succumb to the fictitious illness “Prussian flu”.
epilogue
Again in 1968, desserts are served to the author and Moustafa in the dining room. The hotel owner Zéro Moustafa confesses to the author that he cannot bring himself to close the hotel because it is the last connection to his late wife and the best years of his life. The author later goes to South America and never comes back to the hotel, so that the further fate of the hotel and Moustafa remains unknown to him.
Back in 1985 the old author finished his report.
In the present the young woman is sitting on a bench in the cemetery and reading the author's book.

production

Grand Budapest Hotel is a British-German co-production by Grand Budapest Limited (UK) and Nineteenth Babelsberg Film GmbH (Germany). Originally Johnny Depp was intended for the main role , but he left again. Madame D. was originally supposed to be played by Angela Lansbury . However , she was replaced by Tilda Swinton because of the overlap with the theater tour Driving Miss Daisy .

The film was shot in Germany in 2013. The shooting in Görlitz took place from January to March 2013, among other things, the Art Nouveau buildings of the Görlitz department store (interior shots) and the Görlitz town hall (exterior shots, hotel entrance, dining room) as well as the hotel bathing establishment, the historic outdoor pool, served as a backdrop for the hotel . The historic Schönhof am Untermarkt, the oldest Renaissance building in Görlitz, is also shown in the background. The brown stag served as a backdrop for the monastery. Furthermore, the Berliner Straße with the Görlitzer Bahnhof in the background can be seen briefly. Lutz Castle was embodied by the Hainewalde (exterior) and Waldenburg (interior) castles . The scenes in the Check-Point 19 prison were filmed at Kriebstein Castle (exterior shots) and in Osterstein Castle in Zwickau . Other Saxon filming locations were the state capital Dresden , where u. a. was shot in the Zwinger , the Sempergalerie , on the Fürstenzug and in Pfunds dairy (interior of the Mendl bakery), as well as Saxon Switzerland , where shooting a. a. took place at the Bad Schandau elevator and on the Bastei bridge . The train journey leads on the Bormannsgrund bridge of the Weißeritztalbahn over a branch of the Malter dam .

Choose Thälmann logo in Görlitz

The opening and closing scenes in the Lutz Friedhof were recorded on a plot of land on Görlitzer Bergstrasse. The writing “WÄHLT THÄLMANN!”, Which was made in 1986 for the shooting of the two-part GDR television film Ernst Thälmann , was changed to “OLD LUTZ CEMETERY” and then back again. And a former kindergarten playground behind the wall has been converted into a cemetery.

In the Brandenburg state capital Potsdam , some effects were created in the studios of the producing film studio Babelsberg . The studio is both a co-producer ( Studio Babelsberg AG ) and an executive production company ( Studio Babelsberg Motion Picture ). The visual effects for the film come from the Stuttgart company LUXX Studios .

The film painting Young Man with Apple is the work of the English painter Michael Taylor , who made it according to Wes Anderson's exact ideas. Taylor referred u. a. on portraits of the Italian mannerist Agnolo Bronzino and details from the anonymous double portrait of Gabrielle d'Estrées and one of her sisters . The watercolor Two Lesbians Masturbating , which hung in its place after the theft - at first glance a picture by Egon Schiele - was made by RISD graduate Rich Pellegrino in Schiele's style.

In order to be able to represent the hotel, which is situated on a hill, a hand-made miniature model was used for the long shots of the hotel , which Anderson created together with production designer Adam Stockhausen , who already worked on Anderson's comedy Moonrise Kingdom .

The model of the hotel is approximately 4.25 meters by 2.15 meters, while the hill and funicular on which the hotel stands was built on a different scale. The two models were put together by digital compositing in order to achieve an optically correct size effect. The models were shot in front of a green screen so that a painted background could be used. The background painting, like the mural in the hotel's dining room, was created by artist Michael Lenz in the style of Caspar David Friedrich's landscapes .

Wes Anderson decided to produce the film in three different aspect ratios . The ratios 1.33: 1, 1.85: 1 and 2.35: 1 change depending on the time levels of the action. The lenses used show different degrees of barrel-shaped distortion to match the respective time level . Almost all camera settings are frontal, i.e. at right angles to the wall behind, rarely tilted slightly up or down. In many cases the camera is in the middle of the room and thus shows a symmetrical image. Almost without exception, camera pans are carried out at a 90 ° angle , whether to the side or up and down. One of the few exceptions is the shooting on the upper floor of the hotel. Tracking shots were consequently created parallel to walls or the objects (vehicles) move exactly across the camera.

Some of the texts in the fictional newspaper with the news of death come from Wikipedia. The beginning parts of the English Wikipedia articles Music , Carnival and Avalanche have been grouped around the newspaper article about Madame D's death.

Grand Budapest Hotel was funded by the German Film Funding Fund (DFFF) , the Central German Media Funding , the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg and the Baden-Württemberg Media and Film Company .

Anderson was inspired when he read the works Rausch der Metamorphosis , Impatience of the Heart , The World of Yesterday and Twenty-Four Hours from the Life of a Woman by the until then unknown author Stefan Zweig . For the scenes set in the hotel, Anderson was inspired by the atmosphere in Ingmar Bergman's film drama The Silence .

To find out where the film could take place, Anderson and Stockhausen first researched the Library of Congress in the collection of photos from Austria-Hungary taken at the end of the 19th century. They also traveled to Vienna , Budapest, Marienbad and Karlsbad and rated films such as People in the hotel from 1932. The Zubrowka Republic was inspired in part by Karlovy Vary, which the film also has many visual references to. “Karlovy Vary had all the right elements, but they weren't in the right places”, so that Karlovy Vary was not the location, but the set designers created their own version.

The design of the Grand Budapest Hotel was based on different European hotels. The Palace Bristol Hotel in Karlovy Vary was the model for the external appearance in the "heyday" of the hotel . During the communist period in the 1960s, the hotel is hidden behind panels and facings. The model for this “Overlook Hotel” was the Budapest Hotel Gellért . Other buildings in Karlovy Vary, such as the Grand Hotel Pupp , the Hotel Imperial located on a hill with its very steep funicular railway, which was closed in 1959, or the statue of a chamois on the Hirschensprung served as models. The funicular in the film is almost exactly similar to the Budavári Sikló in Budapest. The Hirschensprung motif, together with the silhouette of the Watzmann massif in Berchtesgaden in Upper Bavaria - the preferred residence of the Third Reich leadership between 1933 and 1945 ( Obersalzberg leadership area ) - forms the mural in the hotel's dining room. This image is also used on the film poster for the Grand Budapest Hotel .

“Zubrowka”, the name of the fictional republic, is derived from the Polish vodka Żubrówka .

During the chase with skis and sledges from the snow-covered monastery in the mountains down into the valley, the Sphinx observatory on the Swiss Jungfraujoch served as a model for the miniature model of the observatory on “Gabelmeister's Peak” .

The furnishing of the Mendl sugar bakery , which supplies the hotel with pink confectionery boxes, alludes to the long tradition of the Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal court sugar bakeries , such as can still be found in Vienna today. B. in the kuk Hofzuckerbäckerei Demel , the key color pink, however, is probably an allusion to Vienna's largest confectionery Aida .

Reviews

The film was received positively by critics almost without exception. The Süddeutsche Zeitung, for example, considered it the “most glamorous Berlinale opening film in a very long time”.

Spiegel Online wrote that the film contained "a cosmos of tastefully flashy colors, wonderfully eccentric costumes and majestic buildings, blessed with beautiful nature". Therefore, there is also the risk of an "overdose", as the Tagesspiegel said.

Filmstarts rated the film with four out of five possible stars and spoke of "a [em] visual work of art whose beauty and unbelievable ingenuity are astonishing".

The German Film and Media Assessment (FBW) attested a “combination of unmistakable cinematic handwriting with an unbroken feeling for bizarre characters and a wonderfully absurd, touching, sometimes confectionary sweet story”, which “clearly sets the film apart from 'common' narrative styles ".

Patrick Seyboth from epd Film praised Wes Anderson's exuberant ingenuity and emphasized that "beneath the playfulness [...] this time a deep sadness lurks in the face of the catastrophes of history". The momentum of the film does not suffer from this, however, "rather it still seems to draw a defiant energy from it."

Philip Kemp, writer and film historian , sees the film in his criticism as an "unexpectedly touching film pleasure", if one is willing to look for "not necessarily ruthless realism " in a film and is ready to succumb to Anderson's "charming idiosyncrasies" to whom he counts design, playfulness and timing. He notes that the cast is "extremely star-heavy" even by Anderson's standards, even when the stars often only appear for minutes. He particularly praises Ralph Fiennes again, whose “impeccable timing” ensures that people watch him with “unreserved pleasure”. Overall, for him, the film is a "detail-obsessed, fantastic, high-calorie, confectionery sweet, deliciously decadent Dobo cake ."
