Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel tells a story about a ski chalet in the fictional Republic of Zubrowka–but the film features a story within a story, which raises broader questions about both the necessity of narratives and their shortcomings in the construction of national identity. Anderson’s characters both rely on and challenge the ways identity is constructed through narrative. Using all three readings, craft an essay of at least 3 substantive paragraphs that makes a case as to if we should consider The Grand Budapest Hotel a postmodern form of national cinema. How does Anderson’s distinctive style craft the world of the film? What forms of national pride or history are deployed by the film’s narrative frame? Would we consider this film postmodern? Why/Why not?
