The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H (Ralph Fiennes), a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori), the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. Acting as a kind of father figure, M. Gustave leads the resourceful Zero on a journey that involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting; the battle for an enormous family fortune; a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sleds and skis; and the sweetest confection of a love affair – all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent. Inspired by the writings of Stefan Zweig, The Grand Budapest Hotel recreates a bygone era through its arresting visuals and sparkling dialogue. The charm and vibrant colors of the film gradually darken with a sense of melancholy as the forces of history conspire against our hero and his vanishing way of life. Written and directed by Wes Anderson, whose films include The Royal Tenenbaums , Moonrise Kingdom , and Fantastic Mr. Fox . The film also stars Jude Law, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, Adrian Brody, Saoirse Ronan, Léa Seydoux, Bill Murray and Owen Wilson. Review: Do it. Don't hesitate - This sort of writing or film is rare for these days. The film is remarkable in every single way and by reading the adapted screenpaly (trust me, the working ones do not look like this) one gets much more in-depth view of the miraculous Roald Dahl like characters, the situation and the clear link to reality. This is a work of art. If you enjoyed this film, you will appreciate this book. It includes photographs- superfluous- but also sketches for original costume designs and a beautifully written set of forwards. Review: A must have for all fans of The Grand Budapest Hotel! - I love having the screenplay handy to enjoy time after time some of the best dialogue ever written.

Wes Anderson’s best.
One of the wittiest, most pointed screenplays of the decade.

I loved this. It was so funny and just plain crazy. I found myself reading it with a funny accent in my head. It really just highlights the simplicity of thinking that we would all love to indulge in but cant. It was lovely.

A RIVETING READ !
It came in no time flat, and i was so anxious to receive it as soon as I could --- as I was totally transfixed by the wonderful movie. A real contender for all kinds of Oscars.

I absolutely loved it.
Reading a screenplay gives you an inside view into the entire character. It fills in the blanks. While some may feel it leaves nothing to the imagination, I find the opposite true. It enhances the imagination, creating vivid imagery in the mind. This screenplay was fabulous. I'm looking forward to many more from Mr. Anderson. Bravo!

Great book. Fantastic writing. Wes Anderson at his best. Great book and great movie. I must say that it definitely improved my imaginative abilities. Thanks.

Mr. Anderson, you'd win my award.
The Grand Budapest lost for best screenplay today, and, in my eyes, that is a grave mistake. I don't like long, serious affairs, so I'll just say this: This is the first screenplay for a film that I've ever bought; it is elegant and beautiful, and a pleasure to behold.

If you liked Wes Anderson's film you will like the screenplay and will enjoy reading it as much as you have enjoyed seeing the film.

Excelente
É menor que eu esperava e gostei da qualidade, não veio embalado em plástico mas não veio danificado. O filme é excelente, e gostei que esse roteiro veio com uma fonte mais moderna e bastante detalhes. Li em um comentário aqui que não é 100% fiel ao filme e isso ainda vou apurar.

The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Il copione originale è ideale complemento di un film straordinariamente "visivo", utile alla comprensione di come viene creata un'opera cinematografica.
