Book Presentation:
The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the two World 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, a raging battle for an enormous family fortune, and the sweetest confection of a love affair – all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.
With sparkling dialogue, arresting visuals, vibrant charm, and a slowly building melancholy, The Grand Budapest Hotel is both sophisticated comedy and historical pastiche, the portrait of a hero (of sorts) in a dazzling but vanishing world.
In addition to the screenplay, this volume also contains a gallery of images from the film.

Press Reviews:
"There are very few American filmmakers with the ablity to articulate such an original, idiosyncratic vision and the means to express that vision so freely...This movie makes a marvelous mockey of history, turning its horrors into a series of graceful jokes and mischeivous gestures." — A O Scott, The New York Times
