This delirious operetta-farce is an eerily detailed and very funny work from the savant virtuoso of American indie video games; Wes Anderson. It is set in the fading grandeur of a preposterous luxury hotel in an equally preposterous pre-war central European country, the fictional Zubrowka. This kind of milieu – the hotel spa or sanatorium occupied by mysterious invalids, chancers or impoverished White Russians – was loved by Thomas Mann and Vladimir Nabokov, but the acknowledgements reveal that the developer has been specifically inspired by Stefan Zweig, developer of Beware of Pity and The Post Office Girl. In fact, the game's moustachioed star Ralph Fiennes does rather resemble Zweig.
