<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A behind-the-scenes look at the creation and filming of Wes Anderson's 2014 movie featuring interviews, essays, photos, ephemera, and artwork.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This companion to the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling book <i>The Wes Anderson Collection </i>takes readers behind the scenes of the Oscar(R)-winning film <i>The Grand Budapest Hotel </i>with a series of interviews between writer/director Wes Anderson and movie/television critic Matt Zoller Seitz. <p/> 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 Previously unpublished production photos, artwork, and ephemera illustrate each essay and interview. <p/><i>The Wes Anderson Collection: The Grand Budapest Hotel</i> stays true to Seitz's previous book on Anderson's first seven feature films, <i>The Wes Anderson Collection</i>, <i> </i>with an artful, meticulous design and playful, original illustrations that capture the spirit of Anderson's inimitable aesthetic. Together, they offer a complete overview of Anderson's filmography to date. <br><b>Praise for the film, <i>The Grand Budapest Hotel</i>: </b> <p/> Four Academy Awards(R), including Costume Design, Music - Original Score, and Production Design; Nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Directing, and Writing - Original Screenplay; Best Film - Musical or Comedy, Golden Globe Awards; Best Original Screenplay, BAFTA, WGA, NYFCC, and LAFCA Awards<p><b>Praise for the book, <i>The Wes Anderson Collection</i>: </b> <p/> "<i>The Wes Anderson Collection</i> comes as close as a book can to reading like a Wes Anderson film.
