This companion to the New York Times
bestselling book The Wes Anderson Collection takes readers behind the scenes of
the Oscar®-winning film The Grand Budapest Hotel with a series of interviews
between writer/director Wes Anderson and movie/television critic Matt Zoller
Seitz.
Learn all about the film's conception, hear
personal anecdotes from the set, and explore the wide variety of sources that
inspired the screenplay and imagery—from author Stefan Zweig to filmmaker Ernst
Lubitsch to photochrom landscapes of turn-of-the-century Middle Europe. Also
inside are interviews with costume designer Milena Canonero, composer Alexandre
Desplat, lead actor Ralph Fiennes, production designer Adam Stockhausen, and
cinematographer Robert Yeoman; essays by film critics Ali Arikan and Steven
Boone, film theorist and historian David Bordwell, music critic Olivia
Collette, and style and costume consultant Christopher Laverty; and an
introduction by playwright Anne Washburn. Previously unpublished production
photos, artwork, and ephemera illustrate each essay and interview.
