Philosophy In Film - 081 - The Grand Budapest Hotel

  • Summary

  • For this week’s episode, the gang marvels at the magnificence of The Grand Budapest Hotel. With an all-star cast of both fresh and familiar faces, this charming Wes Anderson film stars Ralph Fiennes as the concierge of a first-class resort hotel in the 1930s. The story unfolds after the mysterious death of one of the patrons and M. Gustave (Fiennes) finds himself as the primary suspect in this splendid escapade. Once in the lobby, take a right and down the hall to find Craig waiting with Producer’s Notes (8:31). Alain then shows us to the Beauclair Synopsis (17:19), with Chris preparing his finest course of memory and nostalgia in Philosopher’s Corner (28:16). Round Table (38:34) brings with it all the amenities, with Reviews (1:17:14) and Mailbag (1:26:45) capping off the celebration. As always, we discuss the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the movie, and demonstrate to you why we think this is Wes Anderson’s Grand BudaBEST movie!
