It may be contrary to all of the love for CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER and X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST on this site, but for me the best film so far in 2014 is Wes Anderson‘s THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL. A perfect amalgam of everything Anderson has made to date, THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL injects a level of whimsy that he hasn’t had to this degree since THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS.
In honor of the upcoming Blu-ray release of the film, a new featurette has shown up online featuring some Master Builders constructing a replica of the hotel itself entirely out of LEGO bricks. The sheer level of planning that would need to go into doing a project like this is amazing. It also makes me want for LEGO to create an authorized set for THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL. Sure it may not be BACK TO THE FUTURE or SHAUN OF THE DEAD, but I am sure there are some fans who would pony up the dough for this to make themselves.
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL hits Blu-ray on June 17th. Same day as THE LEGO MOVIE. Coincidence?
