Our take on The Grand Budapest Hotel

Wes Anderson's 2014 comedy is a nested, candy-coloured caper about a legendary concierge and his loyal lobby boy framed for murder amid a fictional Europe on the brink of war. Whimsical on the surface and melancholy underneath, it's his most dazzling confection. If its symmetrical wit and bittersweet charm delighted you, seek out stylised comedies and capers where impeccable craft hides real wistfulness.
