Catering and Hospitality/Madhatters/We r all crazy here



Hotels can be amazing, grand, horrid and simply disappointing... and don't I know it I have been working in this industry for almost 10 years... Gosh!

One thing is for sure, you never know what the day might bring, regulars are fun and we are all crazy to work in hospitality industry... Especially when the policy is not to tip, I need to work in US!! 

So the only film actually that been about the hotels, was made back in 1993 For Love of For Money, aka Concierge. That cute film with Michael J Fox. 



The of course there were Whites tv series with Alan Davies about the cheffing life, and Kitchen Confidential  which sadly got cancelled. But it was oh so very good, by the way read the book and think twice to mess with people who handle your food.

It is not the obvious choice for a film to set, the industry is taking for granted. It is actually work to look/sound/be happy to see you all the time. I actually get really grumpy at times at home, just because I saw way too many people in one day.

But back to Budapest.... 

It is marvellous... Cute.. Hysterically funny... Made beautifully... And oh so very arty! I supposes you cannot expect less from Wes Anderson the man who gave us Moonrise Kingdom just few years ago. 



Actually another remarkable thing about these two films that the actors are the same... How cool is that!! Very Joss Wheadon :)

Ralf Finnes' character is remarkable mad hatter of the industry. Admittedly very over the top, but oh so true. 




Story involves, death, art, inheritance... and very dramatic. 

This film is a must see. And I will not be telling you the story. This film is just too good to miss... 

It made me want to go vintage shopping, eat cake, paint and read Stefan Zwieg on who's work it has been based. 

Watch it! Watch it now!!

Oh and this is definitely one of the strong picutes to be the favourite film of this year!
