March Outing: ANOTHER CHANGE OF PLAN

Sorry to say, once again the Coming Attractions website was incorrect. One Chance did not arrive in Toronto today after all. So once again I had to scramble to find a new film that would appeal to the majority of Movie Club members.

Hope I'm right in choosing The Grand Budapest Hotel, a zany story with a serious underlying theme, as described by its director, Wes Anderson, in an interview in today's Toronto Star: http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/movies/2014/03/13/wes_anderson_shares_secrets_about_making_the_grand_budapest_hotel.html

Here is a synopsis and a link to the trailer:

Synopsis: THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the adventures of Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune -- all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing.

Director:Wes Anderson

Cast:Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Jason Schwartzman, Léa Seydoux, Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson, Owen Wilson, Tony Revolori, Larry Pine, Giselda Volodi, Florian Lukas, Karl Markovics, Zack Volker Michalowski, Neal Huff, Bob Balaban, Fisher Stevens

If you'd like to see The Grand Budapest Hotel, let's meet near the box office at the Varsity Cinema (Bloor & Bay) about 15 minutes before the 2:30 screening on Tuesday, March 18. Afterwards, those who wish to eat and chat will head downstairs to our usual Italian restaurant. PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO GO TO SCACCIA BY NO LATER THAN NOON ON MONDAY, MARCH 17, so I can make a reservation for the correct number people.
