The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
Rated R • 99 Minutes
The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of M. Gustave, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune against the backdrop of a dramatically changing continent. Rich with art deco motifs, The Grand Budapest Hotel's luscious scenery and cinematography align with visual motifs found in the Crocker's exhibition, Hot Takes: New Acquisitions in Glass.
