Ludicrous verbal acrobatics, art nouveau sceneries in candy colours and a story inside a story inside a story – in our recent title film »Grand Budapest Hotel« from 2014, one doesn’t know where to listen or look first. We truly enjoyed entering the world of Wes Anderson and being inspired with all our senses: whether it is sweet delicacies, a trip to Budapest or design finds in hotels around the world. And sound plays an important role in this issue as well: the melodic poetry by Stefan Zweig, film music and our favourite soundtracks from film classics as well as the role of voice overs in the new, animated family movie »The Incredibles 2«. We hope that you enjoy the colourful insight into grand hotels and whirlwind stories as much as we did and that you enjoy a sweet treat while reading!
