“Adrien Brody plays Madame D.’s son, Dmitri Desgoffe und Taxis; Willem Dafoe, who isn’t pictured, plays his henchman, Jopling.”
“Adrien is with Saoirse Ronan, Zero’s love interest, Agatha—that’s a birthmark on her cheek.”
“Tilda Swinton, whose character, Madame D., is getting into a car after her stay at the hotel. She’s afraid to leave the Grand Budapest and her beloved concierge, M. Gustave H.”
“F. Murray Abraham, who plays Zero as an older man years later, in 1968. By then, he has become the mysterious owner of the Grand Budapest Hotel.”
“Tilda, as the elderly Madame D. Tilda put on her lipstick in three brisk strokes: two on the top lip, one across the bottom. She said it was her grandmother’s system.”
Jude Law and Jason Schwartzman.
“Jeff Goldblum as Deputy Vilmos Kovacs, the most prominent attorney in fictional Nebelhorn, Zubrowka.”
“Dmitri’s three sisters, who always talk simultaneously. I think of their costumes as sort of Czech-style.”
“Ralph Fiennes as head concierge M. Gustave H. and Tony Revolori as his lobby boy, Zero.”
“Léa Seydoux, who plays a maid, and the wonderful Mathieu Amalric as Serge X, dressed all in white.”
