With Nymphomaniac, Noah, The Monuments Men, Only Lovers Left Alive, Under the Skin, Enemy, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and more all arriving before the summer season officially kicks off, it’s an embarrassment of riches for any discerning cinephile. Today brings the first clip from perhaps our most-anticipated of the bunch, one that will premiere at Berlin Film Festival in just a short time.
Yes, after a fantastic-looking trailer, Wes Anderson‘s generation-spanning period drama is near the top of our list and this first clip has us even more intrigued. Featuring Ralph Fiennes, we’re greeted to the new lobby boy, played by newcomer Tony Revolori, as our lead takes him through our main locale. Check out the entertaining preview below for the film also starring F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Léa Seydoux, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson and Owen Wilson.
Update: Watch the second clip below.
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune—all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.
The Grand Budapest Hotel opens on March 7th.
