This week, we look at the newest Wes Anderson film, The Grand Budapest Hotel. Alex talks about why he feels it’s Anderson’s second best film, James explains Anderson’s style of symmetrical editing, and we talk about the cinematography and use of miniatures. We also look at the pervasive theme of perfectionism and control, the story’s framing device, and why cats shouldn’t be seen as more important than Jeff Goldblum.
