Witty, charming, original; an old-school Hollywood caper film leavened by Wes Anderson’s quaint sensibility and the faintest hint of social satire. And who would have thought Ralph Fiennes capable of fine comedic timing? Worthwhile viewing.

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014, dir. Wes Anderson): witty, charming, original
Chinglish (2011, play by David Henry Hwang): cleverly written comedy of cultural errors
Cleverly written comedy exploring cultural differences between China and the US – business, relationships, language, etc. Hilarious dialogue, plot foreshadowing and twists – and despite half the play being in subtitled Mandarin, the mostly Caucasian audience was in stitches by the climactic ‘courtroom’ scene. Good stuff
