THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL: 'The Police Are Here'

Monsieur Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) is questioned by Officer Henckels (Ed Norton) about the suspicious death of Madame D. (Tilda Swinton) in Wes Anderson's new film THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL. In theaters March 7, 2014!

I love how Wes Anderson pulls off physical comedy with nothing but a well placed camera and a perfectly timed shot.

[shaolinmonkey]

Love how the camera doesn't join in the chase and there is no musical accompaniment. Instead we are allowed to observe from a distance and chuckle at the absurdity of the whole situation. Anderson knows what he's doing.

I just love how all music cuts off completely and then you have this ridiculous anti-climatic moment instead of some intense chase scene. Its hilarious.

[BryceEdwardBrown]

This was easily Wes Anderson's best film, he truly mastered his craft.

This scene took me by surprise. Wouldn't expect such a response from a sophisticated gentleman. And then to watch them all scurry after him after the shock of his flight subsides with their capes on. Classic lmfao. Assumptions.

The camera work in this movie is brilliant.

"I was arrested and tortured by the rebel militia during the desert uprising."

"Well you know the drill then, zip it."

[Danioabyss]

the comedy in this films is often so simple, yet so effective. The moment Fiennes runs away and the police start chasing him always makes me laugh out loud. There are so many brilliant moments in this film!

"She's been murdered, and you think I did it?"
*Runs for his life* XD

0:10 that long, silent stare is hysterical

[Jweston]

what's so funny about him running from the police is that where is he going to go? That's what so great about that scene.

I like the acting from Norton as Gustav walks up. You can tell that this is a man bracing himself to put his own hero and friend under arrest ... that moment is quickly eclipsed by Gustav's response.

[TheStarcraftJACKAL]

0:50 - with all the hilarity going on, I just recently noticed Inspector Henckl's reaction: he didn't want to believe Mr. Gustave was truly guilty of murder, but still had to be partial and do his job anyway.

In my opinion, what makes this scene, or rather what makes this moment encapsulate the whole of Gustave's character, (and subsequently the writer whom which the character is based) is his reaction to the charges. Even after he's pronounced under arrest, instead of having an "oh fuck" moment, he immediately deflects to his normal flare for the dramatic, keeping up his persona, "I knew there was something fishy, we never got the cause of death." For me that encapsulates the essence of this character and the movie driven by him, and makes sense as in fact the person from whom Gustave was based off of was even accused of being overly theatrical and insincere in his own suicide note, which speaks to the insecure vanity of the persona.

"She's been murdered and you think I did it" -runs away immediately-

[adadymek]

Mr. Fiennes is flawless! He is pure perfection :)

[Swilliams]

I love his face when Zero tells him he was tortured by the militia.

Gustave: have you ever been questioned by the authorities?

Zero: on one occasion-

Gustave: When?

Zero: I was captured and tortured by the rebel militia after the desert uprising.

Gustavo: oh my fucking god seriously?!??

[iz]

just love how he is able to make the same joke twice in the space of minutes. Gustaves absurd reaction to serious situations: *friend is tortured* "you know the drill, zip it!". *is accused of murder* runs away

[davida]

This ladies and gentlemen, is comedy done right!

[Gootothesecond]

I loved this scene. Everyone's reaction is the same as mine would be. I love the fact that he isn't really quick or fast but he's just not going to jail.
