It recounts the adventures of
M.Gustave, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between
the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most
trusted friend.
Throughout the movie, characters begin reciting poetry. These poems as Wes Anderson said
"This is a little pastiche. I just made them up. They don’t
exist beyond that. None of them get very far." in an interview
conducated by A.J. Goldmann, are transitory and interrupted by plot.
The bits and pieces of the movie that
caught my eye...below
"While
questing once in noble wood
of gray, medieval pine, I
came upon a tomb, rain-slick'd, rubbed-cool,
ethereal, its
inscription long-vanished, yet
still within its melancholy fissures..."
M. Gustave
"A
moist, black ash dampens the filth
of a dung-dark rat's nest and
mingles with the thick
scent of wood rot while
the lark song of
a guttersnipe..."
M. Gustave
"Twas
first light when I saw her
face upon the heath, and
hence did I return, day-by-day,
entranced,
tho'
vinegar did brine my
heart, never..."
Zero
"If
this do be me end,
farewell! cried
the wounded piper-boy, whilst
the muskets cracked and
the yeomen roared 'Hurrah!' And
the ramparts fell. Methinks
me breathes me last,
me fears!' said he..."
M. Gustave
"Whence
came these two radiant,
celestial brothers, united,
for an instant, as
they crossed the stratosphere of
our starry window? One
from the East and one
from the West."

This Wes Anderson "masterpiece"
is fulfilled with colour and irony. I would definitely recommend this
movie to anyone.
Beautiful poetries. This movie is incredible, I really like it.
