Film & TV

The screenplay of Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the two World Wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, a raging battle for an enormous family fortune, and the sweetest confection of a love affair - all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.


With sparkling dialogue, arresting visuals, vibrant charm, and a slowly building melancholy, The Grand Budapest Hotel is both sophisticated comedy and historical pastiche, the portrait of a hero (of sorts) in a dazzling but vanishing world.


In addition to the screenplay, this volume also contains a gallery of images from the film.
