The Grand Bupadest Hotel

I have been keen to see this movie which has been out for several months now - we finally went to see it at the cinema this evening.

It was very quiet in the cinema!  (But we were a little early).  Eventually there were about ten of us there.

The film is a comedy set in a fictional Eastern European state in the 1930's and the hotel itself looks like a giant sugar confection in its mountain setting.  It reminded me of the big, white Victorian hotels that we saw on the mountainside in Wengen and Interlaken, but this one is almost a caricature.  It was very entertaining and the sets and characters were larger than life.

As we had headed to the cinema early we then had a quick bite to eat in a Thai restaurant nearby before returning home.
