I’ve been a Wes Anderson fan for as long as I can remember. The first film that I saw from him was Rushmore, and I’ve followed his career since then. The only film I don’t like by him is Steve Zissou, and I know I’m in the minority for that. He’s newest film, The Grand Budapest Hotel looks pretty great though. It’s the first of his films that’s written solely from Anderson. All of his other movies have had collaborations with the likes of: Owen Wilson, Roman Coppola, and others.

Budapest takes place during the early 20th-century in Hungary and involves Ralph Fiennes character of a legendary concierge. Check out the plot, poster, and first trailer from the film below!
