Why? Is it a soup metaphor?

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Crit
Correct me if I'm wrong, Jennie Tonic, but as I recall, your reaction to this was something very close to "Thank god for Wes Anderson." I can't improve much on that. The word "sensibility" is overused, but good golly, nobody else uses these colors, nobody else uses these miniatures, nobody else uses this blocking, nobody else can float these non-sequiturs. And for all Ralph Fiennes's accomplishments, nobody else has ever made him this charming (or profane). In short, as someone says about Fiennes's M. Gustave, Anderson sustains the illusion with remarkable grace. And hey, when I die, I want to go with the Prussian grippe.
