These Grand Budapest Hotel Photographs Are Simply Delightful

Wes Anderson's next film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, not only features an all-star cast — Owen Wilson, Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Adrien Brody, and Tilda Swinton, oh my! — it promises a dizzying fantasia of surreal humor and even more surreal(ist) art direction. Anderson has a knack for making sets come vividly alive as anthropomorphized characters in their own right, and the floridly pink Grand Budapest certainly looks like a place where people go to bury their problems — among other things. It's the structural equivalent of the old woman in pastel hot rollers who knows everything about everyone in the neighborhood — her hair is, ahem, full of secrets. And, so is this hotel.

If you haven't seen the trailer yet, you need to now. Then, indulge in some decadent Saturday afternoon visual inspiration in our handy Grand Budapest Hotel gallery. March 2014 can't come soon enough. (Tribeca Film)
