The Grand Budapest Hotel draws visually from Europe-set mid-century Hollywood films and the Library of Congress's photochrom print collection of alpine resorts. They initially struggled in their brainstorming, but the experience touring Europe and researching the literature of Austrian novelist Stefan Zweig shaped their vision for the film. Wes Anderson and longtime collaborator Hugo Guinness conceived The Grand Budapest Hotel as a fragmented tale following a character inspired by a common friend. Fox Searchlight supervised the commercial distribution, and The Grand Budapest Hotel 's funding was sourced through Indian Paintbrush and German government-funded tax rebates.
Anderson's American Empirical Pictures produced the film in association with Studio Babelsberg, Fox Searchlight Pictures, and Indian Paintbrush's Scott Rudin and Steven Rales. When Gustave is framed for the murder of a wealthy dowager ( Tilda Swinton), he and his recently befriended protégé Zero ( Tony Revolori) embark on a quest for fortune and a priceless Renaissance painting amidst the backdrop of an encroaching fascist regime. Ralph Fiennes leads a seventeen-actor ensemble cast as Monsieur Gustave H., famed concierge of a twentieth-century mountainside resort in the fictional Eastern European country of Zubrowka.
The Grand Budapest Hotel is a 2014 comedy-drama film written and directed by Wes Anderson.
