The Grand Budapest Hotel is a 2014 comedy film directed by Wes Anderson. The screenplay by Anderson is from a story by Anderson and Hugo Guinness, inspired by the writings of Stefan Zweig. It stars Ralph Fiennes as a concierge who teams up with one of his employees (Tony Revolori) to prove his innocence after he is framed for murder.
The film is an American-German-British co-production[2][3][4] that was financed by German financial companies and film-funding organisations. It was filmed in Germany.[10][11][12] The Grand Budapest Hotel was released to general acclaim from film critics, and many included it in year-end top 10 lists.[13][14][15][16] The film led the BAFTA nominations, with 11 nominations, more than any other film, including Best Film and Best Director for Anderson, and Best Actor for Fiennes.[17][18][19][20] The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and garnered three more Golden Globe Award nominations, including Best Director for Anderson.[21] It also garnered nine Academy Award nominations, the joint most (with Birdman) for the ceremony, including Best Picture and Best Director. It won the Academy Awards for Best Production Design, Best Original Score, Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.[22]

Plot[edit]
Prologue[edit]
In the present, a teenage girl approaches a monument to a writer in a cemetery. In her arms is a memoir penned by a character known only as "The Author". She starts reading a chapter from the book. The Author begins narrating the tale from his desk in 1985 about a trip he made to the Grand Budapest Hotel in 1968.
Located in the Republic of Zubrowka,[a] a fictional Central European state[23] ravaged by war and poverty, the Young Author discovers that the remote mountainside hotel has fallen on hard times. Many of its lustrous facilities are now in a poor state of repair, and its guests are few. The Author encounters the hotel's elderly owner, Zero Moustafa, one afternoon, and they agree to meet later that evening. Over dinner in the hotel's enormous dining room, Mr. Moustafa tells him the tale of how he took ownership of the hotel and why he is unwilling to close it down.[24]
Part 1 – M. Gustave[edit]
The story begins in 1932 during the hotel's glory days when the young Zero was a lobby boy, freshly arrived in Zubrowka after his hometown was razed and his entire family executed. Zubrowka is on the verge of war, but this is of little concern to Monsieur Gustave H., the Grand Budapest's devoted concierge. The owner of the hotel is unknown and only relays important messages through the lawyer Deputy Kovacs. When he is not attending to the needs of the hotel's wealthy clientele or managing its staff, Gustave courts a series of aging women who flock to the hotel to enjoy his "exceptional service". One of the ladies is Madame Céline Villeneuve "Madame D" Desgoffe und Taxis, with whom Gustave spends the night prior to her departure.
Part 2 – Madame C.V.D.u.T.[edit]
One month later, Gustave is informed that Madame D has died under mysterious circumstances. Taking Zero along, he races to her wake and the reading of the will, where Kovacs, coincidentally the executor of the will, reveals that in her will she has bequeathed to Gustave a very valuable painting, Boy with Apple. This enrages her family, all of whom hoped to inherit it. Her son, Dmitri Desgoffe und Taxis, lashes out at Gustave. With the help of Zero, Gustave steals the painting and returns to the Grand Budapest, securing the painting in the hotel's safe. During the journey, Gustave makes a pact with Zero: in return for the latter's help, he makes Zero his heir. Shortly thereafter, Gustave is arrested and imprisoned for the murder of Madame D after forced testimony by Serge X, Madame D's butler. Upon arriving in prison, Gustave finds himself stuck in a cell with hardened criminals, but earns their respect after he "beat the shit" out of one of them for "challenging [his] virility".
Part 3 – Check-point 19 Criminal Internment Camp[edit]
Zero aids Gustave in escaping from Zubrowka's prison by sending a series of stoneworking tools concealed inside cakes made by Zero's fiancée Agatha. Along with a group of convicts including Ludwig, Gustave digs his way out of his cell. The group narrowly escape capture after one of them sacrifices himself to kill a large posse of guards with his "throat-slitter" and Ludwig and his crew escape by car after wishing Gustave and Zero well. Gustave then teams up with Zero to prove his innocence.
Part 4 – The Society of the Crossed Keys[edit]
Gustave and Zero are pursued by J. G. Jopling, a cold-blooded assassin working for Dmitri, who chops off Kovacs' fingers on his right hand and kills him when he refuses to work with Dmitri. Gustave calls upon Monsieur Ivan, a concierge and fellow member of the Society of the Crossed Keys, a fraternal order of concierges who attempt to assist other members. Through the help of Ivan, Gustave and Zero travel to a mountaintop monastery where they meet with Serge, the only person who can clear Gustave of the murder accusations, but Serge is strangled by a pursuing Jopling before he can reveal a piece of important information regarding a second will from Madame D. Zero and Gustave steal a sled and chase Jopling as he flees the monastery on skis. During a face-off at the edge of a cliff, Zero pushes the assassin to his death and rescues Gustave.
Part 5 – The Second Copy of the Second Will[edit]
Back at the Grand Budapest, the outbreak of war is imminent, and the military have commandeered the hotel and are in the process of converting it into a barracks. A heartbroken Gustave vows to never again pass the threshold. Agatha joins the two and agrees to go inside and retrieve the painting, but Dmitri discovers her. A chase and a chaotic gunfight ensue before Gustave's innocence is finally proven by the discovery of the copy of Madame D's second will, which was duplicated by Serge before it was destroyed, and which he subsequently hid in the back of the painting. This will was to take effect only if she was murdered. The identity of Madame D's murderer and how Gustave is proved innocent are left ambiguous (though earlier in the film a suspicious bottle labeled "strychnine" can be seen on Jopling's desk). The will also reveals that she was the owner of the Grand Budapest. She leaves much of her fortune, the hotel, and the painting to Gustave, making him wealthy in the process, and he becomes one of the hotel's regular guests while appointing Zero as the new concierge.
Epilogue[edit]
After the war, which it is implied Zubrowka lost, the country is annexed. During a train journey across the border, soldiers inspect Gustave's and Zero's papers. Zero describes Gustave being taken out and shot after defending Zero (whom the soldiers had attempted to arrest for his immigrant status), as he did on the initial train ride in the beginning of the movie. Agatha succumbs to "the Prussian Grippe" and dies two years later, as does her infant son. Zero inherits the fortune Gustave leaves behind and vows to continue his legacy at the Grand Budapest, but a subsequent Communist revolution in Zubrowka and the ravages of time slowly begin to take their toll on both the building and its owner as Zero is forced to "contribute" his entire inheritance to the government to keep the dying hotel in business. In a touch of irony, the painting Zero and Gustave fought so desperately to take now sits on a wall, forgotten and crooked.
Back in 1968, Mr. Moustafa confesses to the Author that the real reason that he cannot bring himself to close the hotel has nothing to do with his loyalty to Gustave, or as a connection to "his world," but because it is his last remaining link to his beloved Agatha and the best years of his life. He theorizes that Gustave's world was gone long before he was ever in it, but he maintained the illusion quite well. Before departing to his room, Mr. Moustafa gives the Author a key to the "M. Gustave Suite" and readjusts the crooked painting. The Young Author later departs for South America and never returns to the hotel.
In 1985, the Author completes his memoirs beside his grandson.
Back in the present, the girl continues reading in front of the statue of the Author, a sign that Zero and Gustave's story and that of the hotel will live on.

Production[edit]



 Palace Bristol Hotel in Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad)

The Grand Budapest Hotel is an American-German-British co-production of Wes Anderson's American Empirical Pictures (US), Indian Paintbrush (US),[2][3][4] Neunzehnte Babelsberg Film GmbH (Germany) and Grand Budapest Limited (UK).[5][11][12][32] The film was funded by the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF), Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg as well as Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg.[11][33]
Anderson and Guinness' story was inspired by several works by the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig, particularly the novella Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman (1927), the novel Beware of Pity (1939) and his autobiography The World of Yesterday (1934–42).[34][35] Wes Anderson suggested editor Barney Pilling watch Ernst Lubitsch's The Shop Around the Corner and the films of Jacques Tati as references.[36]
It was filmed entirely on location in Germany, mainly in Görlitz and other parts of Saxony as well as at Studio Babelsberg.[37] Principal photography began in January 2013 on location in Berlin and Görlitz.[38] One of the principal locations was the defunct Görlitzer Warenhaus (de), a huge Jugendstil department store with a giant atrium, one of the few such department stores in Germany to survive World War II. It served as the atrium lobby of the hotel. Filming concluded in March 2013.
Anderson shot the film in three aspect ratios, 1.33, 1.85, and 2.35:1, one for each timeline.[39]
For wide shots of the hotel, Anderson used a three metre tall handmade miniature model. He felt that since audiences would know that the shot was artificial, computer-generated effects or otherwise, "The particular brand of artificiality that I like to use is an old-fashioned one."[40] He had previously used miniatures in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and more extensively in Fantastic Mr. Fox. In designing the hotel, Anderson and production designer Adam Stockhausen did extensive research, looking at vintage images at the Library of Congress of hotels and European vacation spots, as well as existing locales such as the pastel-pink Palace Bristol Hotel[41] prominently featured on movie advertisements and the Grandhotel Pupp in the spa town of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czech Republic and the Grandhotel Gellért in Budapest.[42][43] The model used varying scales: the hotel model was 14 feet long and 7 feet deep, the tree-spotted hill on which it stood was a different scale, and finally the funicular railway in the foreground was built to a third scale to capture it best cinematically.[40]
The painting in the film, Boy with Apple, a Renaissance masterpiece by the artist Johannes Van Hoytl the Younger, is a fictional piece commissioned by Anderson and painted by Michael Taylor. The painting took four months to prepare for the film.[44] Likewise the much sought after pastry, Herr Mendl's courtesan au chocolat, is a humorous fictional creation of Wes Anderson's, as a symbol of the courtesan lifestyle of the concierge, the triple tier form of the story, and as an element to escape prison.[45] The bespoke pastry was produced by a local baker in Görlitz. The brief was to come up with something related to a classic religieuse, which is French for 'nun', with chocolate covered stacked profiteroles resembling a nun in black robes. Anderson worked with the baker to perfect the final look.[46] The widow's mansion was filmed partially within Schloss (castle) Waldenberg.[47] The fake newspapers in the film feature mainly original text, but also use some excerpts from three Wikipedia articles.[48]
The Visual Effects were done by the German VFX Company LUXX Studios.[49][50]

The soundtrack is composed by Alexandre Desplat, who worked with Anderson previously on Fantastic Mr. Fox and Moonrise Kingdom. It is co-produced by Anderson with music supervisor, Randall Poster; they, too, worked together on Moonrise Kingdom. The original music is by Desplat, along with Russian folk songs together with pieces composed by Öse Schuppel, Siegfried Behrend, and Vitaly Gnutov,[51] and performed by the Osipov State Russian Folk Orchestra.[52]
Wes Anderson and Randall Poster chose a three-stringed Russian instrument called the balalaika to establish the musical voice of the film[53] and managed to gather two orchestras for a total of 35 balalaika musicians for the recording of the soundtrack including the France-based "Saint Georges" Balalaika Orchestra (fr) and the State Academic Russian Folk Ensemble "Russia" (ru) from Moscow.[54][55] Desplat’s use of the balalaika begins with “Moustafa” but it returns over and over again.[56] Other instruments in this soundtrack include alphorns, whistles, organ, male choir, bells and cimbalom.[57][58]
The 32 tracks, with orchestral elements, keyboard instruments and balalaikas, feature eclectic variations and central European melodic themes. Balalaikas are used in "Overture: M. Gustave H" and church organs in "Last Will and Testament". A music box interlude punctuates "Up the Stairs / Down the Hall", and there are haunted-house piano stylings in "Mr. Moustafa". Harpsichords and strings are featured in the baroque piece, "Concerto for Lute and Plucked Strings I. Moderato".[59] The opening song, the Appenzell yodel "s'Rothe-Zäuerli" by Ruedi and Werner Roth, is from the Swiss folk group's Öse Schuppel's album Appenzeller Zäuerli.[60]

Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
The Grand Budapest Hotel received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for the film's visual style and Fiennes' lead performance. Film aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 92% "certified fresh" rating, with an average score of 8.4/10, based on reviews from 256 critics. The consensus states: "Typically stylish but deceptively thoughtful, The Grand Budapest Hotel finds Wes Anderson once again using ornate visual environments to explore deeply emotional ideas."[66] Metacritic reported a score of 88 out of 100, based on 48 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[67] Many ranked it one of the best films of 2014.[13][14][15][16]
Alonso Duralde of The Wrap gave the film a positive review, saying "Course after course of desserts, presented with a flourish and served so promptly that you can barely catch your breath between treats. It's not until an hour or two has passed that you realize that you haven't really eaten anything."[68] Stephanie Zacharek of The Village Voice gave the film a negative review, saying "The Grand Budapest Hotel brought out my inner Hunca Munca, of Two Bad Mice fame: This meticulously appointed dollhouse of a movie just went on and on, making me want to smash many miniature plates of plaster food in frustration."[69] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, saying "In a very appealing if outre way, its sensibility and concerns are very much those of an earlier, more elegant era, meaning that the film's deepest intentions will fly far over the heads of most modern filmgoers."[70] Dave Calhoun of Time Out gave the film four out of five stars, saying "The film's shaggy-dog, sort-of-whodunit yarn offers laughs and energy that make this Anderson's most fun film since Rushmore."[71] J. R. Jones of Chicago Reader gave the film two out of four stars, saying "No amount of visual invention can substitute for characters, though, and Anderson doesn't so much write characters anymore as recruit a great cast and dress them up."[72] Jocelyn Noveck of the Associated Press gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "In the end it's Fiennes who makes the biggest impression. His stylized, rapid-fire delivery, dry wit and cheerful profanity keep the movie bubbling along. Here's to further Fiennes-Anderson collaborations."[73] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A-, saying "I've had my Wes Anderson breakthrough – or maybe it's that he's had his. The Grand Budapest Hotel is a marvelous contraption, a wheels-within-wheels thriller that's pure oxygenated movie play."[74]
Joe Neumaier of the New York Daily News gave the film three out of five stars, saying "As with all of Anderson's films, the magic is in the cast. Fiennes, with his rapid-fire delivery and rapier mustache, is hilarious, dapper and total perfection."[75] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three and a half out of four stars, saying "It's a filigreed toy box of a movie, so delicious-looking you may want to lick the screen. It is also, in the Anderson manner, shot through with humor, heartbreak and a bruised romantic's view of the past."[76] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review, saying "Anderson works so assiduously to create obsessively detailed on-screen worlds that the effect has sometimes been hermetic, even stifling. "The Grand Budapest," however, is anything but."[77] Kate Erbland of Film.com gave the film an 8.2 out of 10, saying "Anderson has abandoned a bit of his whimsical nature for the later portions of the film, but the film's first half hour presents one of his most darling settings yet, until, of course, it all crumbles into murder, mayhem and bad renovations."[78] Ian Buckwalter of NPR gave the film a nine out of ten, saying "Grand Budapest is a culmination of the tinkly music-box aesthetic of Anderson's work to date, turned up to 11."[79] Stephen Whitty of the Newark Star-Ledger gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "While Anderson delights in creating a fictional (but very real) mittel-Europe, he also does it with the craft of old Hollywood, using carefully made miniatures and handpainted backdrops."[80] Tim Stanley of The Daily Telegraph concurs that while normally "Anderson writes about the American aristocracy", his latest film "about the European upper-crust... gets us perfectly. Anderson understands that the elegance of the Grand Budapest is just a facade, that beneath the glitter is the cancer of greed and fascism."[81] A. O. Scott of The New York Times gave the film a positive review, saying "This movie makes a marvelous mockery of history, turning its horrors into a series of graceful jokes and mischievous gestures. You can call this escapism if you like. You can also think of it as revenge."[82]
Peter Howell of the Toronto Star gave the film four out of four stars, saying "The entire movie is like a giant, elaborately decorated cake, created by this most exacting of film craftsmen. And how tasty it is!"[83] Ty Burr of The Boston Globe gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "With The Grand Budapest Hotel, Wes Anderson is up to his old tricks but with a magnanimous new confidence that feels like a gift."[84] Bruce Ingram of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four out of five stars, saying "It's quintessential Anderson, in other words, but also an unabashed entertainment. And that's something to see."[85] Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the film four out of four stars, saying "The Grand Budapest Hotel is by far the most headlong comedic affair in Anderson's canon. It's practically Marx Brothers-ian at moments. And Fiennes – who knew he was capable of such wicked, witty timing?!"[86] Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "From the start, it's clear Anderson is working with a new sophistication both in the vocabulary and structure of the film's voiceover narrations."[87] Christopher Orr of The Atlantic gave the film a positive review, saying "The comedy in The Grand Budapest Hotel is among the broadest yet undertaken by Anderson. But amid the frenzied hubbub, there are intimations of a darker, sadder history unfolding."[88] A.A. Dowd of The A.V. Club reviewed the film positively, saying "Anderson's latest invention, The Grand Budapest Hotel, may be his most meticulously realized, beginning with the towering, fictional building for which it's named."[89]
James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film three out of four stars, saying "It offers an engaging 90+ minutes of unconventional, comedy-tinged adventure that references numerous classic movies while developing a style and narrative approach all its own."[90] Moira MacDonald of The Seattle Times gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "Every frame is carefully composed like the illustrations from a beloved book (characters are precisely centered; costumes are elaborately literal); the dialogue feels both unexpected and happily familiar."[91] Colin Covert of the Star Tribune gave the film four out of four stars, saying "I'm not sure what the formal definition of a masterpiece is, but 'The Grand Budapest Hotel strikes me as something very close."[92] Margaret Pomeranz from At the Movies went further and named the film a masterpiece, giving it five out of five stars. She called the movie "the most exhilarating piece of cinema in recent memory" but noted the film's darker themes, commenting that underneath the beautiful and ridiculous nature of the film was a "sense of impending doom" and "sadness... this thing that's going to overwhelm Europe...and destroy it."[93]
Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post gave the film three out of four stars, saying "If Anderson buries relatively little moral substance under lavish dollops of rich cream, at least he, like his fascinating protagonist, sustains the illusion with a marvelous grace."[94] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film four out of four stars, saying "The movie's sad undertone saves The Grand Budapest Hotel from its own zaniness – or better yet, elevates the zaniness, making it feel like an assertion of some right to be silly, or some fundamental human expression."[95] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "I would call The Grand Budapest Hotel major whimsy. It's a confection with bite, featuring an ensemble led by the invaluable Ralph Fiennes, here allowed to exercise his farceur's wiles."[96] David Denby of The New Yorker gave the film a positive review, saying "The opéra-bouffe plot serves as a strand of bright golden wire on which Anderson hangs innumerable encounters, scampering chases, and an archly decorative style of commentary."[97]
Box office[edit]
In its theatrical release, The Grand Budapest Hotel grossed $59,100,318 in North America and $115,500,000 in other territories for a worldwide total of $174,600,318 against a budget of $26.7 million.[98]
The film was Anderson's most successful live-action film in the United Kingdom, reaching number one at the UK box office in its third week with a gross of £6.31 million.[99] The film was also Anderson's first number one film in the UK.[99]

Plot[edit]
Prologue[edit]
In the present, a teenage girl approaches a monument to a writer in a cemetery. In her arms is a memoir penned by a character known only as "The Author". She starts reading a chapter from the book. The Author begins narrating the tale from his desk in 1985 about a trip he made to the Grand Budapest Hotel in 1968.
Located in the Republic of Zubrowka,[a] a fictional Central European state[23] ravaged by war and poverty, the Young Author discovers that the remote mountainside hotel has fallen on hard times. Many of its lustrous facilities are now in a poor state of repair, and its guests are few. The Author encounters the hotel's elderly owner, Zero Moustafa, one afternoon, and they agree to meet later that evening. Over dinner in the hotel's enormous dining room, Mr. Moustafa tells him the tale of how he took ownership of the hotel and why he is unwilling to close it down.[24]
Part 1 – M. Gustave[edit]
The story begins in 1932 during the hotel's glory days when the young Zero was a lobby boy, freshly arrived in Zubrowka after his hometown was razed and his entire family executed. Zubrowka is on the verge of war, but this is of little concern to Monsieur Gustave H., the Grand Budapest's devoted concierge. The owner of the hotel is unknown and only relays important messages through the lawyer Deputy Kovacs. When he is not attending to the needs of the hotel's wealthy clientele or managing its staff, Gustave courts a series of aging women who flock to the hotel to enjoy his "exceptional service". One of the ladies is Madame Céline Villeneuve "Madame D" Desgoffe und Taxis, with whom Gustave spends the night prior to her departure.
Part 2 – Madame C.V.D.u.T.[edit]
One month later, Gustave is informed that Madame D has died under mysterious circumstances. Taking Zero along, he races to her wake and the reading of the will, where Kovacs, coincidentally the executor of the will, reveals that in her will she has bequeathed to Gustave a very valuable painting, Boy with Apple. This enrages her family, all of whom hoped to inherit it. Her son, Dmitri Desgoffe und Taxis, lashes out at Gustave. With the help of Zero, Gustave steals the painting and returns to the Grand Budapest, securing the painting in the hotel's safe. During the journey, Gustave makes a pact with Zero: in return for the latter's help, he makes Zero his heir. Shortly thereafter, Gustave is arrested and imprisoned for the murder of Madame D after forced testimony by Serge X, Madame D's butler. Upon arriving in prison, Gustave finds himself stuck in a cell with hardened criminals, but earns their respect after he "beat the shit" out of one of them for "challenging [his] virility".
Part 3 – Check-point 19 Criminal Internment Camp[edit]
Zero aids Gustave in escaping from Zubrowka's prison by sending a series of stoneworking tools concealed inside cakes made by Zero's fiancée Agatha. Along with a group of convicts including Ludwig, Gustave digs his way out of his cell. The group narrowly escape capture after one of them sacrifices himself to kill a large posse of guards with his "throat-slitter" and Ludwig and his crew escape by car after wishing Gustave and Zero well. Gustave then teams up with Zero to prove his innocence.
Part 4 – The Society of the Crossed Keys[edit]
Gustave and Zero are pursued by J. G. Jopling, a cold-blooded assassin working for Dmitri, who chops off Kovacs' fingers on his right hand and kills him when he refuses to work with Dmitri. Gustave calls upon Monsieur Ivan, a concierge and fellow member of the Society of the Crossed Keys, a fraternal order of concierges who attempt to assist other members. Through the help of Ivan, Gustave and Zero travel to a mountaintop monastery where they meet with Serge, the only person who can clear Gustave of the murder accusations, but Serge is strangled by a pursuing Jopling before he can reveal a piece of important information regarding a second will from Madame D. Zero and Gustave steal a sled and chase Jopling as he flees the monastery on skis. During a face-off at the edge of a cliff, Zero pushes the assassin to his death and rescues Gustave.
Part 5 – The Second Copy of the Second Will[edit]
Back at the Grand Budapest, the outbreak of war is imminent, and the military have commandeered the hotel and are in the process of converting it into a barracks. A heartbroken Gustave vows to never again pass the threshold. Agatha joins the two and agrees to go inside and retrieve the painting, but Dmitri discovers her. A chase and a chaotic gunfight ensue before Gustave's innocence is finally proven by the discovery of the copy of Madame D's second will, which was duplicated by Serge before it was destroyed, and which he subsequently hid in the back of the painting. This will was to take effect only if she was murdered. The identity of Madame D's murderer and how Gustave is proved innocent are left ambiguous (though earlier in the film a suspicious bottle labeled "strychnine" can be seen on Jopling's desk). The will also reveals that she was the owner of the Grand Budapest. She leaves much of her fortune, the hotel, and the painting to Gustave, making him wealthy in the process, and he becomes one of the hotel's regular guests while appointing Zero as the new concierge.
Epilogue[edit]
After the war, which it is implied Zubrowka lost, the country is annexed. During a train journey across the border, soldiers inspect Gustave's and Zero's papers. Zero describes Gustave being taken out and shot after defending Zero (whom the soldiers had attempted to arrest for his immigrant status), as he did on the initial train ride in the beginning of the movie. Agatha succumbs to "the Prussian Grippe" and dies two years later, as does her infant son. Zero inherits the fortune Gustave leaves behind and vows to continue his legacy at the Grand Budapest, but a subsequent Communist revolution in Zubrowka and the ravages of time slowly begin to take their toll on both the building and its owner as Zero is forced to "contribute" his entire inheritance to the government to keep the dying hotel in business. In a touch of irony, the painting Zero and Gustave fought so desperately to take now sits on a wall, forgotten and crooked.
Back in 1968, Mr. Moustafa confesses to the Author that the real reason that he cannot bring himself to close the hotel has nothing to do with his loyalty to Gustave, or as a connection to "his world," but because it is his last remaining link to his beloved Agatha and the best years of his life. He theorizes that Gustave's world was gone long before he was ever in it, but he maintained the illusion quite well. Before departing to his room, Mr. Moustafa gives the Author a key to the "M. Gustave Suite" and readjusts the crooked painting. The Young Author later departs for South America and never returns to the hotel.
In 1985, the Author completes his memoirs beside his grandson.
Back in the present, the girl continues reading in front of the statue of the Author, a sign that Zero and Gustave's story and that of the hotel will live on.

The Grand Budapest Hotel is an American-German-British co-production of Wes Anderson's American Empirical Pictures (US), Indian Paintbrush (US),[2][3][4] Neunzehnte Babelsberg Film GmbH (Germany) and Grand Budapest Limited (UK).[5][11][12][32] The film was funded by the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF), Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg as well as Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg.[11][33]
Anderson and Guinness' story was inspired by several works by the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig, particularly the novella Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman (1927), the novel Beware of Pity (1939) and his autobiography The World of Yesterday (1934–42).[34][35] Wes Anderson suggested editor Barney Pilling watch Ernst Lubitsch's The Shop Around the Corner and the films of Jacques Tati as references.[36]
It was filmed entirely on location in Germany, mainly in Görlitz and other parts of Saxony as well as at Studio Babelsberg.[37] Principal photography began in January 2013 on location in Berlin and Görlitz.[38] One of the principal locations was the defunct Görlitzer Warenhaus (de), a huge Jugendstil department store with a giant atrium, one of the few such department stores in Germany to survive World War II. It served as the atrium lobby of the hotel. Filming concluded in March 2013.
Anderson shot the film in three aspect ratios, 1.33, 1.85, and 2.35:1, one for each timeline.[39]
For wide shots of the hotel, Anderson used a three metre tall handmade miniature model. He felt that since audiences would know that the shot was artificial, computer-generated effects or otherwise, "The particular brand of artificiality that I like to use is an old-fashioned one."[40] He had previously used miniatures in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and more extensively in Fantastic Mr. Fox. In designing the hotel, Anderson and production designer Adam Stockhausen did extensive research, looking at vintage images at the Library of Congress of hotels and European vacation spots, as well as existing locales such as the pastel-pink Palace Bristol Hotel[41] prominently featured on movie advertisements and the Grandhotel Pupp in the spa town of Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czech Republic and the Grandhotel Gellért in Budapest.[42][43] The model used varying scales: the hotel model was 14 feet long and 7 feet deep, the tree-spotted hill on which it stood was a different scale, and finally the funicular railway in the foreground was built to a third scale to capture it best cinematically.[40]
The painting in the film, Boy with Apple, a Renaissance masterpiece by the artist Johannes Van Hoytl the Younger, is a fictional piece commissioned by Anderson and painted by Michael Taylor. The painting took four months to prepare for the film.[44] Likewise the much sought after pastry, Herr Mendl's courtesan au chocolat, is a humorous fictional creation of Wes Anderson's, as a symbol of the courtesan lifestyle of the concierge, the triple tier form of the story, and as an element to escape prison.[45] The bespoke pastry was produced by a local baker in Görlitz. The brief was to come up with something related to a classic religieuse, which is French for 'nun', with chocolate covered stacked profiteroles resembling a nun in black robes. Anderson worked with the baker to perfect the final look.[46] The widow's mansion was filmed partially within Schloss (castle) Waldenberg.[47] The fake newspapers in the film feature mainly original text, but also use some excerpts from three Wikipedia articles.[48]
The Visual Effects were done by the German VFX Company LUXX Studios.[49][50]

Label

The soundtrack is composed by Alexandre Desplat, who worked with Anderson previously on Fantastic Mr. Fox and Moonrise Kingdom. It is co-produced by Anderson with music supervisor, Randall Poster; they, too, worked together on Moonrise Kingdom. The original music is by Desplat, along with Russian folk songs together with pieces composed by Öse Schuppel, Siegfried Behrend, and Vitaly Gnutov,[51] and performed by the Osipov State Russian Folk Orchestra.[52]
Wes Anderson and Randall Poster chose a three-stringed Russian instrument called the balalaika to establish the musical voice of the film[53] and managed to gather two orchestras for a total of 35 balalaika musicians for the recording of the soundtrack including the France-based "Saint Georges" Balalaika Orchestra (fr) and the State Academic Russian Folk Ensemble "Russia" (ru) from Moscow.[54][55] Desplat’s use of the balalaika begins with “Moustafa” but it returns over and over again.[56] Other instruments in this soundtrack include alphorns, whistles, organ, male choir, bells and cimbalom.[57][58]
The 32 tracks, with orchestral elements, keyboard instruments and balalaikas, feature eclectic variations and central European melodic themes. Balalaikas are used in "Overture: M. Gustave H" and church organs in "Last Will and Testament". A music box interlude punctuates "Up the Stairs / Down the Hall", and there are haunted-house piano stylings in "Mr. Moustafa". Harpsichords and strings are featured in the baroque piece, "Concerto for Lute and Plucked Strings I. Moderato".[59] The opening song, the Appenzell yodel "s'Rothe-Zäuerli" by Ruedi and Werner Roth, is from the Swiss folk group's Öse Schuppel's album Appenzeller Zäuerli.[60]

The Grand Budapest Hotel received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for the film's visual style and Fiennes' lead performance. Film aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 92% "certified fresh" rating, with an average score of 8.4/10, based on reviews from 256 critics. The consensus states: "Typically stylish but deceptively thoughtful, The Grand Budapest Hotel finds Wes Anderson once again using ornate visual environments to explore deeply emotional ideas."[66] Metacritic reported a score of 88 out of 100, based on 48 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[67] Many ranked it one of the best films of 2014.[13][14][15][16]
Alonso Duralde of The Wrap gave the film a positive review, saying "Course after course of desserts, presented with a flourish and served so promptly that you can barely catch your breath between treats. It's not until an hour or two has passed that you realize that you haven't really eaten anything."[68] Stephanie Zacharek of The Village Voice gave the film a negative review, saying "The Grand Budapest Hotel brought out my inner Hunca Munca, of Two Bad Mice fame: This meticulously appointed dollhouse of a movie just went on and on, making me want to smash many miniature plates of plaster food in frustration."[69] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, saying "In a very appealing if outre way, its sensibility and concerns are very much those of an earlier, more elegant era, meaning that the film's deepest intentions will fly far over the heads of most modern filmgoers."[70] Dave Calhoun of Time Out gave the film four out of five stars, saying "The film's shaggy-dog, sort-of-whodunit yarn offers laughs and energy that make this Anderson's most fun film since Rushmore."[71] J. R. Jones of Chicago Reader gave the film two out of four stars, saying "No amount of visual invention can substitute for characters, though, and Anderson doesn't so much write characters anymore as recruit a great cast and dress them up."[72] Jocelyn Noveck of the Associated Press gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "In the end it's Fiennes who makes the biggest impression. His stylized, rapid-fire delivery, dry wit and cheerful profanity keep the movie bubbling along. Here's to further Fiennes-Anderson collaborations."[73] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A-, saying "I've had my Wes Anderson breakthrough – or maybe it's that he's had his. The Grand Budapest Hotel is a marvelous contraption, a wheels-within-wheels thriller that's pure oxygenated movie play."[74]
Joe Neumaier of the New York Daily News gave the film three out of five stars, saying "As with all of Anderson's films, the magic is in the cast. Fiennes, with his rapid-fire delivery and rapier mustache, is hilarious, dapper and total perfection."[75] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three and a half out of four stars, saying "It's a filigreed toy box of a movie, so delicious-looking you may want to lick the screen. It is also, in the Anderson manner, shot through with humor, heartbreak and a bruised romantic's view of the past."[76] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review, saying "Anderson works so assiduously to create obsessively detailed on-screen worlds that the effect has sometimes been hermetic, even stifling. "The Grand Budapest," however, is anything but."[77] Kate Erbland of Film.com gave the film an 8.2 out of 10, saying "Anderson has abandoned a bit of his whimsical nature for the later portions of the film, but the film's first half hour presents one of his most darling settings yet, until, of course, it all crumbles into murder, mayhem and bad renovations."[78] Ian Buckwalter of NPR gave the film a nine out of ten, saying "Grand Budapest is a culmination of the tinkly music-box aesthetic of Anderson's work to date, turned up to 11."[79] Stephen Whitty of the Newark Star-Ledger gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "While Anderson delights in creating a fictional (but very real) mittel-Europe, he also does it with the craft of old Hollywood, using carefully made miniatures and handpainted backdrops."[80] Tim Stanley of The Daily Telegraph concurs that while normally "Anderson writes about the American aristocracy", his latest film "about the European upper-crust... gets us perfectly. Anderson understands that the elegance of the Grand Budapest is just a facade, that beneath the glitter is the cancer of greed and fascism."[81] A. O. Scott of The New York Times gave the film a positive review, saying "This movie makes a marvelous mockery of history, turning its horrors into a series of graceful jokes and mischievous gestures. You can call this escapism if you like. You can also think of it as revenge."[82]
Peter Howell of the Toronto Star gave the film four out of four stars, saying "The entire movie is like a giant, elaborately decorated cake, created by this most exacting of film craftsmen. And how tasty it is!"[83] Ty Burr of The Boston Globe gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "With The Grand Budapest Hotel, Wes Anderson is up to his old tricks but with a magnanimous new confidence that feels like a gift."[84] Bruce Ingram of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four out of five stars, saying "It's quintessential Anderson, in other words, but also an unabashed entertainment. And that's something to see."[85] Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the film four out of four stars, saying "The Grand Budapest Hotel is by far the most headlong comedic affair in Anderson's canon. It's practically Marx Brothers-ian at moments. And Fiennes – who knew he was capable of such wicked, witty timing?!"[86] Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "From the start, it's clear Anderson is working with a new sophistication both in the vocabulary and structure of the film's voiceover narrations."[87] Christopher Orr of The Atlantic gave the film a positive review, saying "The comedy in The Grand Budapest Hotel is among the broadest yet undertaken by Anderson. But amid the frenzied hubbub, there are intimations of a darker, sadder history unfolding."[88] A.A. Dowd of The A.V. Club reviewed the film positively, saying "Anderson's latest invention, The Grand Budapest Hotel, may be his most meticulously realized, beginning with the towering, fictional building for which it's named."[89]
James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film three out of four stars, saying "It offers an engaging 90+ minutes of unconventional, comedy-tinged adventure that references numerous classic movies while developing a style and narrative approach all its own."[90] Moira MacDonald of The Seattle Times gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "Every frame is carefully composed like the illustrations from a beloved book (characters are precisely centered; costumes are elaborately literal); the dialogue feels both unexpected and happily familiar."[91] Colin Covert of the Star Tribune gave the film four out of four stars, saying "I'm not sure what the formal definition of a masterpiece is, but 'The Grand Budapest Hotel strikes me as something very close."[92] Margaret Pomeranz from At the Movies went further and named the film a masterpiece, giving it five out of five stars. She called the movie "the most exhilarating piece of cinema in recent memory" but noted the film's darker themes, commenting that underneath the beautiful and ridiculous nature of the film was a "sense of impending doom" and "sadness... this thing that's going to overwhelm Europe...and destroy it."[93]
Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post gave the film three out of four stars, saying "If Anderson buries relatively little moral substance under lavish dollops of rich cream, at least he, like his fascinating protagonist, sustains the illusion with a marvelous grace."[94] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film four out of four stars, saying "The movie's sad undertone saves The Grand Budapest Hotel from its own zaniness – or better yet, elevates the zaniness, making it feel like an assertion of some right to be silly, or some fundamental human expression."[95] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "I would call The Grand Budapest Hotel major whimsy. It's a confection with bite, featuring an ensemble led by the invaluable Ralph Fiennes, here allowed to exercise his farceur's wiles."[96] David Denby of The New Yorker gave the film a positive review, saying "The opéra-bouffe plot serves as a strand of bright golden wire on which Anderson hangs innumerable encounters, scampering chases, and an archly decorative style of commentary."[97]
Box office[edit]
In its theatrical release, The Grand Budapest Hotel grossed $59,100,318 in North America and $115,500,000 in other territories for a worldwide total of $174,600,318 against a budget of $26.7 million.[98]

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), commonly referred to as Birdman, is a 2014 American black comedy-drama film co-written, co-produced, and directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. It stars Michael Keaton with a supporting cast of Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough, Amy Ryan, Emma Stone and Naomi Watts. The story follows Riggan Thomson (Keaton), a faded Hollywood actor famous for his role as superhero Birdman, as he struggles to mount a Broadway adaptation of a short story by Raymond Carver.
Most of Birdman appears filmed in a single shot, an idea the director had from the film's conception. Such a technique required an atypical production approach, with many elements of post-production requiring consideration before principal photography; the script took two years to write, the cast went through several weeks of meticulous rehearsals, and during shooting takes were cut for the slightest mishaps. The film was shot in New York City during the spring of 2013 with a budget of $16.5 million jointly financed by New Regency and Fox Searchlight Pictures. It premiered the following year in August where it opened the 71st Venice International Film Festival.
Birdman had a limited theatrical release in the United States on October 17, 2014, followed by a wide release on November 14. The film has grossed more than $98 million worldwide. The film garnered wide acclaim from critics, with praise particularly directed to its acting, direction, and screenplay. Many publications ranked it the best film of 2014.
Birdman won multiple awards, including the Academy Award for Best Picture, along with Best Director for Iñárritu, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography. It also received five additional nominations, tying it with The Grand Budapest Hotel for being the most nominated of that year's ceremony. It also won the Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture at the 21st Screen Actors Guild Awards,[4] as well as Best Screenplay and Best Actor at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards.

Plot[edit]
Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) is a washed-up Hollywood actor famous for playing the superhero Birdman in blockbuster movies decades earlier. Riggan is tormented by the voice of Birdman, which mocks and criticizes him, and he sees himself performing feats of levitation and telekinesis. Riggan hopes to reinvent his career by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway adaptation of Raymond Carver's short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love". The play is produced by Riggan's best friend and lawyer, Jake (Zach Galifianakis), and also stars Riggan's girlfriend, Laura (Andrea Riseborough), and first-time Broadway actress, Lesley (Naomi Watts). Riggan's daughter, Samantha (Emma Stone), a recovering addict, serves as his assistant.
During rehearsals, a light fixture falls onto Ralph, an actor Riggan and Jake agree is ineffective; Riggan tells Jake he caused the light to fall so he could replace Ralph. At Lesley's suggestion, Riggan replaces Ralph with the brilliant but volatile method actor Mike Shiner (Edward Norton), refinancing his house to fund his contract. The first previews go disastrously: Mike breaks character over the replacement of his gin with water and attempts to rape Lesley during a sex scene. Riggan reads early press coverage and is incensed that Mike has stolen the show, but Jake encourages him to continue. When Riggan catches Samantha using marijuana, she tells him he is expendable and that his play is a vanity project.
Backstage during the final preview, Riggan sees Samantha and Mike flirting. He accidentally locks himself out of the theater and walks in his underwear through Times Square to get back inside; amateur videos of the incident go viral online. After the preview, Riggan runs into influential critic Tabitha Dickinson (Lindsay Duncan), who tells him she hates Hollywood celebrities that "pretend" to be actors and promises to "kill" his play with a negative review without having seen it. Riggan gets drunk and passes out in the street. The next day, he hallucinates a conversation with Birdman, who tries to convince him to make another Birdman film, and sees himself flying through New York City back to the theater.
On opening night, Riggan uses a real loaded gun for the final scene in which his character kills himself, and shoots his nose off onstage. He earns a standing ovation from all but Tabitha, who leaves during the applause. In the hospital, Jake tells Riggan that Tabitha gave the play a rave review, dubbing his suicide attempt "super-realism", a new form of method acting. After Samantha visits Riggan, he dismisses Birdman, and seeing birds outside, climbs onto the window ledge. When Samantha returns, Riggan has disappeared. She looks down at the street, then up at the sky, and smiles.

Production[edit]
Conception and writing[edit]
Birdman was conceived when director González Iñárritu had an idea to make a comedy set in the theatre appearing to be filmed in a single shot. The choice behind the film's genre came from the director wanting a change. All his previous films were dramas, and after directing the Biutiful, he did not want to make another tragic film.[5] The decision to make the film appear as a single shot came from his realization that "we live our lives with no editing". By presenting the film as a continuous shot he could "submerge the protagonist in an 'inescapable reality' and take the audience with him."[6] González Iñárritu shared his idea with Argentine writers/filmmakers Armando Bó and Nicolás Giacobone, as well as playwright Alexander Dinelaris, Jr., who had all worked with him on his previous film.[7][a] Their first reaction was to tell him the movie couldn't work though, being concerned over the continuous-shot premise.[5] According to Dinelaris and Giacobone "huge" and "important" people told him to not even try the project for the same reason,[7] and González Iñárritu himself described it as "almost suicidal", worrying that the technique would be distracting instead of immersive.[9] Dinelaris later said that had they truly paused and considered the idea, they might have talked González Iñárritu out of it.[5]
The project began nonetheless. With González Iñárritu in Los Angeles, Giacobone and Bo in Buenos Aires, and Dinelaris in New York, the script was mainly written through Skype calls and emails.[5] Although this complicated the writing process, Dinelaris said he believed the best ideas in Birdman came from Skype sessions at two in the morning where he and Giacobone were "cracking each other up." Incorporating the one-shot feature also affected the writing process. Bo said "We wrote everything thinking of this one shot, and a lot of decisions that would mostly be taken in the editing room were taken before shooting." The one-shot approach meant the scenes could not be removed or re-ordered in post-production, so the writers needed to be "very, very sure about what was on the page."[7] As a result, it took about a year and a half to complete the final draft.[10]



"You have to be an idiot to do it all in one shot. You have to be an idiot to attempt it. It takes a great, great deal of ignorance to not pay attention to the difficulties and to think you’re going to do this. Birdman looks like a good idea now, but a year and a half ago we did not know how we would land."
— Alexander Dinelaris[7]
While some aspects of the film – the first frame with Riggan, for instance – went unchanged from Birdman's conception to release,[5] others went through several iterations. One of these was the sequence in which alter ego Birdman takes complete control over Riggan's thoughts. The writers knew it would occur at Riggan's lowest point, so at one stage planned for it to happen after Riggan hears the initial negative press coverage and destroys his dressing room. In another discarded version, Riggan tries to drown himself in Central Park and flies out to save himself.[7] The film's ending also changed, but after the effort spent to create the final draft, it is perhaps surprising that the ending was written halfway through filming. González Iñárritu grew to strongly dislike the original ending, calling it "so embarrassing", and rewrote it with Dinelaris and Giacobone after a new ending came to him in a dream.[11][12] González Iñárritu was reluctant to describe the original ending but it was leaked by Dinelaris. He said the original ending was set in the theatre instead of the hospital, and involved Johnny Depp sitting in Riggan's dressing room.[13]
The personal experiences of the writers informed the script. Dinelaris' exposure to Broadway shaped the depictions of rehearsals and events backstage, though he admitted exaggerating these. He also felt his background writing long scenes of dialog helped since scenes in the film "were really more like play scenes."[7] González Iñárritu's own experiences influenced many of Birdman's themes, and said "What this film talks about, I have been through. I have seen and experienced all of it; it's what I have been living through the last years of my life."[5] Dinelaris described this aspect as "a laughing look at oneself", but said it had to be done in a comedic way otherwise "it would have been the most unbelievably self-absorbed look at the subject."[5] Themes from Raymond Carver's short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love", which Riggan adapts for stage in the story, also influenced the script. González Iñárritu wanted to find the connection between the themes in Riggan's story and those of Carver's.[7] Because of this it was important to the director that Carver's story be the subject of the play, so found using his work "terrifying" in case the rights to it were rejected, but no issues arose. Carver's widow, writer Tess Gallagher, loved the script and permitted the adaptation, saying that Carver would be laughing about the film.[5]
Casting[edit]



Michael Keaton was González Iñárritu's first choice to play Riggan Thomson.
González Iñárritu cast several of the leading roles before the film was financed.[2] Among these was the lead role. Early in script development, González Iñárritu did not have Keaton in mind,[6] but he had changed his mind by the end: "When I finished the script, I knew that Michael was not the choice or option, he was the guy".[14] González Iñárritu cast Keaton for his depth in a variety of acting styles: he could handle the demands of the stage, up-close work, and comedy and empathy "with a profound depth to both."[15]
Keaton knew about Birdman before González Iñárritu contacted him. He was in the middle of production of another project when he learned that González Iñárritu was making another film. Keaton, a fan of his work, flew home to find out more.[16] González Iñárritu sent him the script and they discussed it over dinner. The first thing Keaton asked the director was whether he was making fun of him (regarding his role in Tim Burton's Batman films), but after González Iñárritu explained the role, its technicalities and the film's production, Keaton agreed to play Riggan.[6]
Casting the actor to play Lesley was easier. Naomi Watts had already worked with González Iñárritu before on 21 Grams and quickly accepted his offer. She was able to work on the movie since she was living in New York at the time.[17]
González Iñárritu called his decision behind casting Galifianakis as Jake "a bet". Galifianakis met the director's criteria of being lovable and funny, but González Iñárritu also considered him sensitive, which scored him the role.[17] Emma Stone already knew she wanted to work with González Iñárritu before she was offered the role of Sam. The script that González Iñárritu gave her and the rest of the cast came with the photo Man on Wire, which featured Philippe Petit crossing the Twin Towers on a tightrope. González Iñárritu told the cast, "We are doing that".[11][18]
Once these actors were committed, González Iñárritu sought funding. He first invited Fox Searchlight Pictures to finance the project, but they turned his offer down because they felt his asking budget was too high.[2] At one stage Megan Ellison of Annapurna Pictures wanted to be involved in the project, but decided against it because, unlike her other films, she had not been involved since the beginning.[19] González Iñárritu approached Brad Weston, president of New Regency, who accepted the offer.[20] When executive Claudia Lewis of Searchlight heard about the deal, she reconsidered and asked to be included in the deal. Searchlight and New Regency had previously worked together to finance 12 Years a Slave, and they decided to join together for Birdman, financing a budget of $16.5 million.[2]
Weston and Lewis developed a close relationship with González Iñárritu, editing the script with him and switching some of the actors. When they joined production, Josh Brolin was set to play the role of Mike Shiner, but the financiers decided to switch him for Norton because of scheduling conflicts.[2] González Iñárritu found casting Mike Shiner difficult because he wanted his actors to give "a quality of reality in each of them that really projects to the film."
He said Norton's experience as a theatre actor combined with his self-confidence meant that "in a way there was some kind of mental reality to Edward",[17] but Norton believes he was the one who convinced González Iñárritu to take him on. Norton was a fan of the director's work and impressed with his ability to push outside film-making boundaries.[21] Norton heard about González Iñárritu's project from a friend. Once he got the script, he read it straight through until 3:00 am. Norton said, "I laughed so hard I woke people up."[22] Norton wanted to meet González Iñárritu the next day, and once they met, Norton told him he couldn't cast someone who was the "embodiment" of what the script was taking aim at. Instead, the director needed to cast someone "who has at least a little bit of authentic depth of experience, in this world." González Iñárritu agreed.[23] Norton was not the only member of the cast who had acted on stage.
Ryan, one of the last actors to be cast,[24] was invited because González Iñárritu had seen her in the play Detroit.[25] Lindsay Duncan had vast experience in the theatre world too, and decided to accept the offer to play the critic because of the quality of the script. "It's delicious because of the writing."[26] But like Shiner's character, González Iñárritu found casting Laura difficult. Riseborough met him on a street corner for a cup of tea, and recalling the event, said "I told him that I would crawl across hot coals to work with him".[27] González Iñárritu described Laura as "a very wacky, quirky role," but said "when [Andrea Riseborough] did it I knew that it was her, because she did it right in the tone, and she understood who she was – she was not judging."[17]
Rehearsal and filming[edit]

Once the writing was finished, González Iñárritu contacted friend and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki to discuss his idea for the film.[28] After reading the script, Lubezki was worried that González Iñárritu would offer him the job since "[Birdman] had all of the elements of a movie that I did not want to do at all" – comedy, studio work and long takes – but changed his mind after further discussion with the director.[29] The pair had worked together on commercials and a short film in the anthology To Each His Own Cinema,[30] but not on any feature films. Lubezki wanted to be sure that this was a decision Rodrigo Prieto, cinematographer of all four of González Iñárritu's feature films, was comfortable with, but after receiving his blessing, the two headed into pre-production.[29]
Lubezki was concerned that no film had been shot in the way González Iñárritu envisioned, meaning there would be no reference material to look up. The two decided the only way to learn how to shoot it would be to shoot it themselves, so they hired a warehouse in Sony Studios, Los Angeles, and built a proxy stage.[28][31] The setup was minimal, with canvas and C-stands for walls, tape and a few pieces of furniture to mark out areas.[28][32] Using a camera and some stand-ins, the duo worked through the movie to see if it was possible. Having realized no theater had all the backstage areas they required, they hired Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York.[33] Still, González Iñárritu wanted to shoot at a Broadway theater, but would have to wait until several weeks into rehearsals before securing St. James Theatre.[34] They then went about having the stand-ins read and walk through the script to see how large the set needed to be.[34] Afterwards, they designed and made "blueprints" of the shots and the blocking of the scenes.[29] The planning was precise. González Iñárritu said "There was no room to improvise at all. Every movement, every line, every door opening, absolutely everything was rehearsed."[31] The actors started rehearsing once this preliminary work was completed: according to Lubezki, they did the scenes with the actors "once we kind of knew what the rhythm of the scenes were." He described the atypical approach "like an upside down movie where you do post-production before the production."[28]



"I know Alejandro is very adamant about kind of keeping the rabbit in the hat and not being super specific about how it was shot, but I will say it took a lot of rehearsal and it was very specific... There was no luxury of cutting away or editing around anything. You knew that every scene was staying in the movie, and like theater, this was it, this was your chance to live this scene."
— Emma Stone[35]
During the blocking of the scenes and rehearsals, González Iñárritu gathered his long-time editors Douglas Crise and Stephen Mirrione onto the proxy set, so they could discuss where to remove edits.[36] Production designer Kevin Thompson was on hand too, since many of the shots González Iñárritu desired required the set to be built in a certain way. For example, Riggan's makeup mirror and desk were constructed so that the camera would see his reflection.[32] Thompson also took into consideration the needs of the crew, for instance designing the stairs a little wider for Steadicam operator Chris Haarhoff's footsize.[37] The writers were also involved at this stage, fine-tuning the script to "make sure the film was fluid and never stopped.[10]








St. James Theatre and Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York were used to film the stage and backstage scenes of Birdman respectively.

Once the logistics of the scenes were worked out and they had the timing down, the team headed to Kaufman Studios for more rehearsals, followed by principal photography based exclusively in New York during the spring of 2013.[38] The studios were used to film the backstage areas of the film, including Riggan's dressing room and the theatre corridors. St. James Theatre was used for two weeks; it was the location for the stage scenes.[39] The bar segments were shot in The Rum House on 47th Street,[40] and 43rd Street was used for the action-sequence.[41] Throughout the locations, including the studio, the scenes were lit with natural light,[b] since Lubezki wanted the movie "to look as naturalistic as possible." The night-time scenes were possible to film in this way due to the brightness of New York.[29]
Throughout shooting, Arri Alexa cameras were used, with an Alexa M for handheld sequences and an Alexa XT attached to the Steadicam. Neither used matteboxes, however. Steadicam operator Chris Haarhoff explained this decision: "We didn’t want this big black thing gliding into their eyeline. This way we could get very close and get the light past the lens and onto the actor’s face."[37] Lubezki – who did all the handheld camerawork[28] – had chosen the Alexa M because the camera was very small and allowed him to get into tiny spaces and close to the actors,[29] sometimes filming two inches away from Keaton's face.[32] The camera also allowed recording for such a long period – necessary for the long takes of the movie – that Lubezki went so far as to say the movie would have been impossible to do years before.[29] The cameras were lensed with Leica Summilux-C or Zeiss Master Primes.[37] Lubezki stated that these gave clean images, saying "You can have all these lights in the frame and they are not really causing bad flare or things like that."[29] In terms of sizes, they initially trialled a 21mm, but this didn't give González Iñárritu the "intimacy" he wanted. The crew instead went to a 18mm Leica, which was used for the majority of the film. Only when emphasis was needed did they switch the lens to a 14mm, but this was rare.[37]
The meticulous timing for the scenes meant that takes were cancelled because of the slightest mishaps. Emma Stone, in an interview with Jimmy Fallon, recalled how a six-minute take of the scene where Riggan first meets Mike was ruined after she walked around a corner too quickly.[42] Because of this, the number of takes for a given scene was high, usually twenty for the shorter scenes,[28] the takes running smoothly around the fifteenth.[37] Chris Haarhoff described it as "a type of dance where everyone would hopefully try to peak all at the same moment." The locations sometimes placed restrictions on the takes too; the live Times Square sequence was shot only twice since they didn't want to attract the attention of tourists.[28]
Whenever shooting was taking place however, there was pressure on everyone involved, but the cast had a positive experience. Edward Norton said that normally in movie production half the people can "check out" due to repetitive aspects, but during the shooting of Birdman "everybody's on, the whole thing, and you're all on pins and needles because you're all relying on forty other people not to drop the ball." Because of this, Stone said the director was able to get the best out of the cast, saying "[González Iñárritu's process] creates this sort of fury in you, and then you end up realizing that he just got so much out of you that you didn’t even know you had."[18] Naomi Watts commented that the atmosphere "felt emblematic of how it feels onstage – at least my long-time memories from long ago."[43] Andrea Riseborough, meanwhile, described the process as "wonderful", mentioning how it was possible to hear the filming of a sequence from far away before the camera arrived and then "the magic happens with you, and then everything leaves you, and everything's silent."[35] Once they successfully completed a take though, it was obvious to everybody involved. Norton said "I’ve never, ever been on a set where every day ended with an enormous, authentic sort of cheer at having made it. You’re waiting for the scream from [González Iñárritu] and everybody was genuinely excited."[21]
Visual effects[edit]
Rodeo FX worked on the visual effects in Birdman, including Riggan's flying sequences, Riggan with his alter ego Birdman following him while strolling down the street, and the attack on the city featuring a strange winged creature, helicopters and stray missiles.[44]
Music[edit]
The film's music consists entirely of drums and classical pieces. With Rachmaninoff (No.2 Op. 27) and Tchaikovsky among others, most of the classical composers featured are well known, but González Iñárritu did not regard the choice of pieces as important, saying "I think all those classical pieces are, in a way, great, but honestly if I would have put another good classical piece it would be the same film."[45] González Iñárritu stated that the classical components come from the world of the play, citing the radio in Riggan's room and the show itself as two sources of the music.[46] The drum sections comprise the majority of the score however, and were composed by Antonio Sánchez. González Iñárritu explained the choice by saying they helped to structure scenes, and that "The drums, for me, was a great way to find the rhythm of the film... In comedy, rhythm is king, and not having the tools of editing to determine time and space, I knew I needed something to help me find the internal rhythm of the film."[47] He also wanted a score that "wouldn’t cater to an audience’s expectations", which the drums, being more abstract, provided.[48] The official soundtrack was released in October 14, 2014.[49]



 Jazz drummer Antonio Sánchez composed and recorded the score for the film.
González Iñárritu contacted friend and jazz drummer Antonio Sánchez in January 2013, inviting him to compose the score for the film.[50] His reaction to writing a soundtrack using only drums was similar to Lubezki's thoughts of shooting the movie like a single shot: "It was a scary proposition because I had no point of reference of how to achieve this. There’s no other movie I know that has a score like this."[51] Sánchez had also not worked on a film before,[50] nevertheless, after receiving the script, composed "rhythmic themes" for each of the characters.[52] González Iñárritu was looking for the opposite approach however, preferring spontaneity and improvisation.[53] Sánchez then waited until production moved to New York before composing more,[52] where he visited the set for a couple of days to get a better idea of the film.[53] Following this, a week before principal photography, he and González Iñárritu went to a studio to record some demos.[46][54] During these sessions the director would first talk him through the scene, then while Sánchez was improvising guide him by raising his hand to indicate an event – such as a character opening a door – or by describing the rhythm with verbal sounds.[54][55] They recorded around seventy demos,[52] which González Iñárritu used to inform the pacing of the scenes on set,[28] and once filming was complete, spliced them into the rough cut.[54] Sánchez summarized the process by saying "The movie fed on the drums and the drums fed on the imagery."[53]
His next work on Birdman was in September, where he traveled to Los Angeles to re-record the soundtrack.[50] By this stage the film was assembled, so during the two days of recording Sánchez would watch a scene to see what González Iñárritu had done with the demos, then redo the track.[56] This was a new experience for Sánchez who until this point, had guided his improvisations in response to "the sound and energy" around him. Here, he was using a scene to guide him, and said the biggest challenge of the soundtrack was "adapting what I do to a moving image, a story line, and dialogue."[57] As in New York, González Iñárritu supervised these recordings, but this time would give specific directions. For example, instructing Sánchez to stop or start when Riggan uttered certain words.[53] González Iñárritu also shaped the overall feel of the soundtrack. He wanted it to grow crazier throughout the film, so for the end tracks Sánchez would overdub up to four drum tracks on top of each other.[54][55] Additionally, González Iñárritu was not satisfied with the quality of the sound from the previous recordings: it was too good. Instead, he wanted an instrument that sounded like it hadn't been played in years, to tie in with state of the theatre in the film.[53] To achieve this, Sánchez adjusted his setup; detuning the drums and stacking different kinds of cymbals on top of one another were among the techniques he used.[52][56] Amusingly, this process was included in the film – the first sound in Birdman is in fact Sánchez asking González Iñárritu a question in Spanish, followed by his detuning of the drums.[52]
In between the two studio recordings, Sánchez was away touring with the Pat Metheny Group, which created a complication.[58] González Iñárritu wanted to include a drummer in the film from the very beginning,[51] saying "I wanted [Sánchez] to become a character in his own film, and have the play become a play of a play."[46] The drummer recommended his friend Nate Smith, but didn't decide on the music to play beforehand, resulting in Smith improvising during the shoots. This meant Sánchez had to learn and match him exactly during the recordings in Los Angeles,[51] noting "Alejandro was very specific and he would watch the clip over and over again to make sure that you could not tell that it was not him that was actually producing the sound. Never in my life have I had to do that."[55] The process was not aided by a different method of recording for the scene outside of St. James Theatre featuring Smith. The drums were moved out onto the street, and people carrying mics a block away would walk towards and past Sánchez as he was playing, to coordinate the sound and image of the film without the need for post-production effects.[54]
Best Original Score disqualification[edit]
On December 12, 2014, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released their longlist for the Academy Award for Best Original Score, from which Birdman was absent. Sánchez had received a note from the award committee the previous day explaining the decision, quoting rule fifteen of the 87th Academy Award Rules and writing they felt "the fact that the film also contains over a half an hour of non-original (mostly classical) music cues that are featured very prominently in numerous pivotal moments in the film made it difficult for the committee to accept your submission." Sánchez decided to launch an appeal, and along with González Iñárritu and the executive vice-president of Fox Music, sent letters to the chair of the Academy's music branch executive committee, Charles Fox, asking that the committee reconsider their decision.[59] One of the points they raised was that the committee had incorrectly calculated the ratio of classical to original music, which after being clarified Sánchez thought he was "on really solid ground."[60] A response from Fox on December 19 however, explained that a special meeting of the music committee was held, and although its members had "great respect" for the score and considered it "superb", thought that the classical music "was also used as scoring", "equally contributes to the effectiveness of the film", and that the musical identity of the film was created by both the drums and classical music. Ultimately, they did not overturn their decision.[59] Sánchez said that he and González Iñárritu were not satisfied with the explanation, and that "to not be able to even participate, to not be on the list, that's what's so disappointing."[60]
Release[edit]
On July 10, 2014, it was announced that Birdman had been selected as the opening film of the 71st Venice International Film Festival along with Mohsen Makhmalbaf's new film.[61] The film got a limited release on October 17, 2014, with a theatre count of 4 in North America,[62][63] and on November 14, 2014, it was released nationwide in 857 theatres.[64]

Critical response[edit]
Birdman received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for Keaton, Norton, and Stone's performances, Iñárritu's direction and screenplay, and Lubezki's cinematography. At Rotten Tomatoes, it has a rating of 93% based on 257 reviews, with rating average of 8.5/10. The site's critical consensus states: "A thrilling leap forward for director Alejandro González Iñárritu, Birdman is an ambitious technical showcase powered by a layered story and outstanding performances from Michael Keaton and Edward Norton."[70] Metacritic gave the film a score of 88 out of 100, based on reviews from 49 critics, indicating "universal acclaim."[71]
The camera work, which depicts most of the film as one continuous take, was met with extensive acclaim for its execution and usage. The acting was widely praised, particularly Keaton,[72][73] with Peter Debruge of Variety calling the performance the "comeback of the century."[74] Debruge described the film as "a self aware showbiz satire" and called it "a triumph on every creative level."[75] Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph gave the film 5/5, with particular praise for the use of long takes by Emmanuel Lubezki, director of photography.[76] Richard Roeper gave the film an "A", and wrote that Keaton makes a serious case for an Academy Award for Best Actor nomination.[72]
Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton from At the Movies praised the film’s writing, direction, performances and cinematography. David also described the implementation of the percussion score as "really exciting", while Margaret summarised "it's just really beautifully written and stunningly performed and beautifully made." The pair both gave the film five stars, making Birdman the only film to receive such a rating from the hosts in 2014.[77][78]
Writing for The New Yorker, Richard Brody called the film "Godardian," comparing it to Pierrot le fou, Every Man for Himself, Alphaville, and Germany Year 90 Nine Zero, four classic films by French director Jean-Luc Godard.[79] However, he suggested the film fell short of reaching the same cinematic mastery, adding, "it’s not a good idea for a filmmaker to get in the ring with Mr. Godard."[79] Thematically, he also compared it to Opening Night by John Cassavetes.[79] He added that the actors played in "the sort of modern naturalism, without eccentricity of gesture, excess of expression, or heightened and formalistic precision, that is the business-casual of contemporary cinema."[79] He concluded that the film "trade[d] on facile, casual dichotomies of theatre versus cinema and art versus commerce" and "deliver[ed] a work of utterly familiar and unoriginal drama."[79] Also in The New Yorker, Anthony Lane rejected the film's suggestion that film critics are out to destroy films, explaining, "Someone could have told Iñárritu that critics, though often mean, are not preemptively so, and that anybody who'd say, as Tabitha does, “I’m going to destroy your play,” before actually seeing it, would not stay long in the job."[80]
In The New York Times, Manohla Dargis compared the main character to Icarus.[81] She also noted a reference to Susan Sontag's Against Interpretation in the dressing-room mirror.[81]
Noting the thematic pull between Riggan's insanity or actual superpowers, Travis LaCouter of First Things writes that "the importance of these powers—real or imagined—is apparent: They are for Riggan the thing beyond the labels, the kernel of his genius and, because he sees drawing upon them as selling out, the source of his great angst." LaCouter concludes that "the quirky profundity of this film is in how it dares the viewer to consider the everyday magic that we tend to ignore, repress, or resent."[82]
A number of critics have provided highly negative reviews, however. Reviewing it for Vanity Fair, Richard Lawson called the film "hoary" and "deceptively simple."[83] Scott Tobias, writing for The Dissolve, gave the film 1.5 stars. He commends Lubezki's cinematography as succeeding at "trapping viewers in a pressure-cooker atmosphere as Riggan and his players struggle to keep it together", but suggests that González Iñárritu is "incapable of modulation" and that there exists "a sourness to Birdman that Iñárritu can’t turn into wit."[84]

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), commonly referred to as Birdman, is a 2014 American black comedy-drama film co-written, co-produced, and directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. It stars Michael Keaton with a supporting cast of Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough, Amy Ryan, Emma Stone and Naomi Watts. The story follows Riggan Thomson (Keaton), a faded Hollywood actor famous for his role as superhero Birdman, as he struggles to mount a Broadway adaptation of a short story by Raymond Carver.
Most of Birdman appears filmed in a single shot, an idea the director had from the film's conception. Such a technique required an atypical production approach, with many elements of post-production requiring consideration before principal photography; the script took two years to write, the cast went through several weeks of meticulous rehearsals, and during shooting takes were cut for the slightest mishaps. The film was shot in New York City during the spring of 2013 with a budget of $16.5 million jointly financed by New Regency and Fox Searchlight Pictures. It premiered the following year in August where it opened the 71st Venice International Film Festival.
Birdman had a limited theatrical release in the United States on October 17, 2014, followed by a wide release on November 14. The film has grossed more than $98 million worldwide. The film garnered wide acclaim from critics, with praise particularly directed to its acting, direction, and screenplay. Many publications ranked it the best film of 2014.
Birdman won multiple awards, including the Academy Award for Best Picture, along with Best Director for Iñárritu, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography. It also received five additional nominations, tying it with The Grand Budapest Hotel for being the most nominated of that year's ceremony. It also won the Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture at the 21st Screen Actors Guild Awards,[4] as well as Best Screenplay and Best Actor at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards.

Plot[edit]
Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) is a washed-up Hollywood actor famous for playing the superhero Birdman in blockbuster movies decades earlier. Riggan is tormented by the voice of Birdman, which mocks and criticizes him, and he sees himself performing feats of levitation and telekinesis. Riggan hopes to reinvent his career by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway adaptation of Raymond Carver's short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love". The play is produced by Riggan's best friend and lawyer, Jake (Zach Galifianakis), and also stars Riggan's girlfriend, Laura (Andrea Riseborough), and first-time Broadway actress, Lesley (Naomi Watts). Riggan's daughter, Samantha (Emma Stone), a recovering addict, serves as his assistant.
During rehearsals, a light fixture falls onto Ralph, an actor Riggan and Jake agree is ineffective; Riggan tells Jake he caused the light to fall so he could replace Ralph. At Lesley's suggestion, Riggan replaces Ralph with the brilliant but volatile method actor Mike Shiner (Edward Norton), refinancing his house to fund his contract. The first previews go disastrously: Mike breaks character over the replacement of his gin with water and attempts to rape Lesley during a sex scene. Riggan reads early press coverage and is incensed that Mike has stolen the show, but Jake encourages him to continue. When Riggan catches Samantha using marijuana, she tells him he is expendable and that his play is a vanity project.
Backstage during the final preview, Riggan sees Samantha and Mike flirting. He accidentally locks himself out of the theater and walks in his underwear through Times Square to get back inside; amateur videos of the incident go viral online. After the preview, Riggan runs into influential critic Tabitha Dickinson (Lindsay Duncan), who tells him she hates Hollywood celebrities that "pretend" to be actors and promises to "kill" his play with a negative review without having seen it. Riggan gets drunk and passes out in the street. The next day, he hallucinates a conversation with Birdman, who tries to convince him to make another Birdman film, and sees himself flying through New York City back to the theater.
On opening night, Riggan uses a real loaded gun for the final scene in which his character kills himself, and shoots his nose off onstage. He earns a standing ovation from all but Tabitha, who leaves during the applause. In the hospital, Jake tells Riggan that Tabitha gave the play a rave review, dubbing his suicide attempt "super-realism", a new form of method acting. After Samantha visits Riggan, he dismisses Birdman, and seeing birds outside, climbs onto the window ledge. When Samantha returns, Riggan has disappeared. She looks down at the street, then up at the sky, and smiles.

Production[edit]
Conception and writing[edit]
Birdman was conceived when director González Iñárritu had an idea to make a comedy set in the theatre appearing to be filmed in a single shot. The choice behind the film's genre came from the director wanting a change. All his previous films were dramas, and after directing the Biutiful, he did not want to make another tragic film.[5] The decision to make the film appear as a single shot came from his realization that "we live our lives with no editing". By presenting the film as a continuous shot he could "submerge the protagonist in an 'inescapable reality' and take the audience with him."[6] González Iñárritu shared his idea with Argentine writers/filmmakers Armando Bó and Nicolás Giacobone, as well as playwright Alexander Dinelaris, Jr., who had all worked with him on his previous film.[7][a] Their first reaction was to tell him the movie couldn't work though, being concerned over the continuous-shot premise.[5] According to Dinelaris and Giacobone "huge" and "important" people told him to not even try the project for the same reason,[7] and González Iñárritu himself described it as "almost suicidal", worrying that the technique would be distracting instead of immersive.[9] Dinelaris later said that had they truly paused and considered the idea, they might have talked González Iñárritu out of it.[5]
The project began nonetheless. With González Iñárritu in Los Angeles, Giacobone and Bo in Buenos Aires, and Dinelaris in New York, the script was mainly written through Skype calls and emails.[5] Although this complicated the writing process, Dinelaris said he believed the best ideas in Birdman came from Skype sessions at two in the morning where he and Giacobone were "cracking each other up." Incorporating the one-shot feature also affected the writing process. Bo said "We wrote everything thinking of this one shot, and a lot of decisions that would mostly be taken in the editing room were taken before shooting." The one-shot approach meant the scenes could not be removed or re-ordered in post-production, so the writers needed to be "very, very sure about what was on the page."[7] As a result, it took about a year and a half to complete the final draft.[10]



"You have to be an idiot to do it all in one shot. You have to be an idiot to attempt it. It takes a great, great deal of ignorance to not pay attention to the difficulties and to think you’re going to do this. Birdman looks like a good idea now, but a year and a half ago we did not know how we would land."
— Alexander Dinelaris[7]
While some aspects of the film – the first frame with Riggan, for instance – went unchanged from Birdman's conception to release,[5] others went through several iterations. One of these was the sequence in which alter ego Birdman takes complete control over Riggan's thoughts. The writers knew it would occur at Riggan's lowest point, so at one stage planned for it to happen after Riggan hears the initial negative press coverage and destroys his dressing room. In another discarded version, Riggan tries to drown himself in Central Park and flies out to save himself.[7] The film's ending also changed, but after the effort spent to create the final draft, it is perhaps surprising that the ending was written halfway through filming. González Iñárritu grew to strongly dislike the original ending, calling it "so embarrassing", and rewrote it with Dinelaris and Giacobone after a new ending came to him in a dream.[11][12] González Iñárritu was reluctant to describe the original ending but it was leaked by Dinelaris. He said the original ending was set in the theatre instead of the hospital, and involved Johnny Depp sitting in Riggan's dressing room.[13]
The personal experiences of the writers informed the script. Dinelaris' exposure to Broadway shaped the depictions of rehearsals and events backstage, though he admitted exaggerating these. He also felt his background writing long scenes of dialog helped since scenes in the film "were really more like play scenes."[7] González Iñárritu's own experiences influenced many of Birdman's themes, and said "What this film talks about, I have been through. I have seen and experienced all of it; it's what I have been living through the last years of my life."[5] Dinelaris described this aspect as "a laughing look at oneself", but said it had to be done in a comedic way otherwise "it would have been the most unbelievably self-absorbed look at the subject."[5] Themes from Raymond Carver's short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love", which Riggan adapts for stage in the story, also influenced the script. González Iñárritu wanted to find the connection between the themes in Riggan's story and those of Carver's.[7] Because of this it was important to the director that Carver's story be the subject of the play, so found using his work "terrifying" in case the rights to it were rejected, but no issues arose. Carver's widow, writer Tess Gallagher, loved the script and permitted the adaptation, saying that Carver would be laughing about the film.[5]
Casting[edit]



Michael Keaton was González Iñárritu's first choice to play Riggan Thomson.
González Iñárritu cast several of the leading roles before the film was financed.[2] Among these was the lead role. Early in script development, González Iñárritu did not have Keaton in mind,[6] but he had changed his mind by the end: "When I finished the script, I knew that Michael was not the choice or option, he was the guy".[14] González Iñárritu cast Keaton for his depth in a variety of acting styles: he could handle the demands of the stage, up-close work, and comedy and empathy "with a profound depth to both."[15]
Keaton knew about Birdman before González Iñárritu contacted him. He was in the middle of production of another project when he learned that González Iñárritu was making another film. Keaton, a fan of his work, flew home to find out more.[16] González Iñárritu sent him the script and they discussed it over dinner. The first thing Keaton asked the director was whether he was making fun of him (regarding his role in Tim Burton's Batman films), but after González Iñárritu explained the role, its technicalities and the film's production, Keaton agreed to play Riggan.[6]
Casting the actor to play Lesley was easier. Naomi Watts had already worked with González Iñárritu before on 21 Grams and quickly accepted his offer. She was able to work on the movie since she was living in New York at the time.[17]
González Iñárritu called his decision behind casting Galifianakis as Jake "a bet". Galifianakis met the director's criteria of being lovable and funny, but González Iñárritu also considered him sensitive, which scored him the role.[17] Emma Stone already knew she wanted to work with González Iñárritu before she was offered the role of Sam. The script that González Iñárritu gave her and the rest of the cast came with the photo Man on Wire, which featured Philippe Petit crossing the Twin Towers on a tightrope. González Iñárritu told the cast, "We are doing that".[11][18]
Once these actors were committed, González Iñárritu sought funding. He first invited Fox Searchlight Pictures to finance the project, but they turned his offer down because they felt his asking budget was too high.[2] At one stage Megan Ellison of Annapurna Pictures wanted to be involved in the project, but decided against it because, unlike her other films, she had not been involved since the beginning.[19] González Iñárritu approached Brad Weston, president of New Regency, who accepted the offer.[20] When executive Claudia Lewis of Searchlight heard about the deal, she reconsidered and asked to be included in the deal. Searchlight and New Regency had previously worked together to finance 12 Years a Slave, and they decided to join together for Birdman, financing a budget of $16.5 million.[2]
Weston and Lewis developed a close relationship with González Iñárritu, editing the script with him and switching some of the actors. When they joined production, Josh Brolin was set to play the role of Mike Shiner, but the financiers decided to switch him for Norton because of scheduling conflicts.[2] González Iñárritu found casting Mike Shiner difficult because he wanted his actors to give "a quality of reality in each of them that really projects to the film."
He said Norton's experience as a theatre actor combined with his self-confidence meant that "in a way there was some kind of mental reality to Edward",[17] but Norton believes he was the one who convinced González Iñárritu to take him on. Norton was a fan of the director's work and impressed with his ability to push outside film-making boundaries.[21] Norton heard about González Iñárritu's project from a friend. Once he got the script, he read it straight through until 3:00 am. Norton said, "I laughed so hard I woke people up."[22] Norton wanted to meet González Iñárritu the next day, and once they met, Norton told him he couldn't cast someone who was the "embodiment" of what the script was taking aim at. Instead, the director needed to cast someone "who has at least a little bit of authentic depth of experience, in this world." González Iñárritu agreed.[23] Norton was not the only member of the cast who had acted on stage.
Ryan, one of the last actors to be cast,[24] was invited because González Iñárritu had seen her in the play Detroit.[25] Lindsay Duncan had vast experience in the theatre world too, and decided to accept the offer to play the critic because of the quality of the script. "It's delicious because of the writing."[26] But like Shiner's character, González Iñárritu found casting Laura difficult. Riseborough met him on a street corner for a cup of tea, and recalling the event, said "I told him that I would crawl across hot coals to work with him".[27] González Iñárritu described Laura as "a very wacky, quirky role," but said "when [Andrea Riseborough] did it I knew that it was her, because she did it right in the tone, and she understood who she was – she was not judging."[17]
Rehearsal and filming[edit]

Once the writing was finished, González Iñárritu contacted friend and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki to discuss his idea for the film.[28] After reading the script, Lubezki was worried that González Iñárritu would offer him the job since "[Birdman] had all of the elements of a movie that I did not want to do at all" – comedy, studio work and long takes – but changed his mind after further discussion with the director.[29] The pair had worked together on commercials and a short film in the anthology To Each His Own Cinema,[30] but not on any feature films. Lubezki wanted to be sure that this was a decision Rodrigo Prieto, cinematographer of all four of González Iñárritu's feature films, was comfortable with, but after receiving his blessing, the two headed into pre-production.[29]
Lubezki was concerned that no film had been shot in the way González Iñárritu envisioned, meaning there would be no reference material to look up. The two decided the only way to learn how to shoot it would be to shoot it themselves, so they hired a warehouse in Sony Studios, Los Angeles, and built a proxy stage.[28][31] The setup was minimal, with canvas and C-stands for walls, tape and a few pieces of furniture to mark out areas.[28][32] Using a camera and some stand-ins, the duo worked through the movie to see if it was possible. Having realized no theater had all the backstage areas they required, they hired Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York.[33] Still, González Iñárritu wanted to shoot at a Broadway theater, but would have to wait until several weeks into rehearsals before securing St. James Theatre.[34] They then went about having the stand-ins read and walk through the script to see how large the set needed to be.[34] Afterwards, they designed and made "blueprints" of the shots and the blocking of the scenes.[29] The planning was precise. González Iñárritu said "There was no room to improvise at all. Every movement, every line, every door opening, absolutely everything was rehearsed."[31] The actors started rehearsing once this preliminary work was completed: according to Lubezki, they did the scenes with the actors "once we kind of knew what the rhythm of the scenes were." He described the atypical approach "like an upside down movie where you do post-production before the production."[28]



"I know Alejandro is very adamant about kind of keeping the rabbit in the hat and not being super specific about how it was shot, but I will say it took a lot of rehearsal and it was very specific... There was no luxury of cutting away or editing around anything. You knew that every scene was staying in the movie, and like theater, this was it, this was your chance to live this scene."
— Emma Stone[35]
During the blocking of the scenes and rehearsals, González Iñárritu gathered his long-time editors Douglas Crise and Stephen Mirrione onto the proxy set, so they could discuss where to remove edits.[36] Production designer Kevin Thompson was on hand too, since many of the shots González Iñárritu desired required the set to be built in a certain way. For example, Riggan's makeup mirror and desk were constructed so that the camera would see his reflection.[32] Thompson also took into consideration the needs of the crew, for instance designing the stairs a little wider for Steadicam operator Chris Haarhoff's footsize.[37] The writers were also involved at this stage, fine-tuning the script to "make sure the film was fluid and never stopped.[10]








St. James Theatre and Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York were used to film the stage and backstage scenes of Birdman respectively.

Once the logistics of the scenes were worked out and they had the timing down, the team headed to Kaufman Studios for more rehearsals, followed by principal photography based exclusively in New York during the spring of 2013.[38] The studios were used to film the backstage areas of the film, including Riggan's dressing room and the theatre corridors. St. James Theatre was used for two weeks; it was the location for the stage scenes.[39] The bar segments were shot in The Rum House on 47th Street,[40] and 43rd Street was used for the action-sequence.[41] Throughout the locations, including the studio, the scenes were lit with natural light,[b] since Lubezki wanted the movie "to look as naturalistic as possible." The night-time scenes were possible to film in this way due to the brightness of New York.[29]
Throughout shooting, Arri Alexa cameras were used, with an Alexa M for handheld sequences and an Alexa XT attached to the Steadicam. Neither used matteboxes, however. Steadicam operator Chris Haarhoff explained this decision: "We didn’t want this big black thing gliding into their eyeline. This way we could get very close and get the light past the lens and onto the actor’s face."[37] Lubezki – who did all the handheld camerawork[28] – had chosen the Alexa M because the camera was very small and allowed him to get into tiny spaces and close to the actors,[29] sometimes filming two inches away from Keaton's face.[32] The camera also allowed recording for such a long period – necessary for the long takes of the movie – that Lubezki went so far as to say the movie would have been impossible to do years before.[29] The cameras were lensed with Leica Summilux-C or Zeiss Master Primes.[37] Lubezki stated that these gave clean images, saying "You can have all these lights in the frame and they are not really causing bad flare or things like that."[29] In terms of sizes, they initially trialled a 21mm, but this didn't give González Iñárritu the "intimacy" he wanted. The crew instead went to a 18mm Leica, which was used for the majority of the film. Only when emphasis was needed did they switch the lens to a 14mm, but this was rare.[37]
The meticulous timing for the scenes meant that takes were cancelled because of the slightest mishaps. Emma Stone, in an interview with Jimmy Fallon, recalled how a six-minute take of the scene where Riggan first meets Mike was ruined after she walked around a corner too quickly.[42] Because of this, the number of takes for a given scene was high, usually twenty for the shorter scenes,[28] the takes running smoothly around the fifteenth.[37] Chris Haarhoff described it as "a type of dance where everyone would hopefully try to peak all at the same moment." The locations sometimes placed restrictions on the takes too; the live Times Square sequence was shot only twice since they didn't want to attract the attention of tourists.[28]
Whenever shooting was taking place however, there was pressure on everyone involved, but the cast had a positive experience. Edward Norton said that normally in movie production half the people can "check out" due to repetitive aspects, but during the shooting of Birdman "everybody's on, the whole thing, and you're all on pins and needles because you're all relying on forty other people not to drop the ball." Because of this, Stone said the director was able to get the best out of the cast, saying "[González Iñárritu's process] creates this sort of fury in you, and then you end up realizing that he just got so much out of you that you didn’t even know you had."[18] Naomi Watts commented that the atmosphere "felt emblematic of how it feels onstage – at least my long-time memories from long ago."[43] Andrea Riseborough, meanwhile, described the process as "wonderful", mentioning how it was possible to hear the filming of a sequence from far away before the camera arrived and then "the magic happens with you, and then everything leaves you, and everything's silent."[35] Once they successfully completed a take though, it was obvious to everybody involved. Norton said "I’ve never, ever been on a set where every day ended with an enormous, authentic sort of cheer at having made it. You’re waiting for the scream from [González Iñárritu] and everybody was genuinely excited."[21]
Visual effects[edit]
Rodeo FX worked on the visual effects in Birdman, including Riggan's flying sequences, Riggan with his alter ego Birdman following him while strolling down the street, and the attack on the city featuring a strange winged creature, helicopters and stray missiles.[44]
Music[edit]
The film's music consists entirely of drums and classical pieces. With Rachmaninoff (No.2 Op. 27) and Tchaikovsky among others, most of the classical composers featured are well known, but González Iñárritu did not regard the choice of pieces as important, saying "I think all those classical pieces are, in a way, great, but honestly if I would have put another good classical piece it would be the same film."[45] González Iñárritu stated that the classical components come from the world of the play, citing the radio in Riggan's room and the show itself as two sources of the music.[46] The drum sections comprise the majority of the score however, and were composed by Antonio Sánchez. González Iñárritu explained the choice by saying they helped to structure scenes, and that "The drums, for me, was a great way to find the rhythm of the film... In comedy, rhythm is king, and not having the tools of editing to determine time and space, I knew I needed something to help me find the internal rhythm of the film."[47] He also wanted a score that "wouldn’t cater to an audience’s expectations", which the drums, being more abstract, provided.[48] The official soundtrack was released in October 14, 2014.[49]



 Jazz drummer Antonio Sánchez composed and recorded the score for the film.
González Iñárritu contacted friend and jazz drummer Antonio Sánchez in January 2013, inviting him to compose the score for the film.[50] His reaction to writing a soundtrack using only drums was similar to Lubezki's thoughts of shooting the movie like a single shot: "It was a scary proposition because I had no point of reference of how to achieve this. There’s no other movie I know that has a score like this."[51] Sánchez had also not worked on a film before,[50] nevertheless, after receiving the script, composed "rhythmic themes" for each of the characters.[52] González Iñárritu was looking for the opposite approach however, preferring spontaneity and improvisation.[53] Sánchez then waited until production moved to New York before composing more,[52] where he visited the set for a couple of days to get a better idea of the film.[53] Following this, a week before principal photography, he and González Iñárritu went to a studio to record some demos.[46][54] During these sessions the director would first talk him through the scene, then while Sánchez was improvising guide him by raising his hand to indicate an event – such as a character opening a door – or by describing the rhythm with verbal sounds.[54][55] They recorded around seventy demos,[52] which González Iñárritu used to inform the pacing of the scenes on set,[28] and once filming was complete, spliced them into the rough cut.[54] Sánchez summarized the process by saying "The movie fed on the drums and the drums fed on the imagery."[53]
His next work on Birdman was in September, where he traveled to Los Angeles to re-record the soundtrack.[50] By this stage the film was assembled, so during the two days of recording Sánchez would watch a scene to see what González Iñárritu had done with the demos, then redo the track.[56] This was a new experience for Sánchez who until this point, had guided his improvisations in response to "the sound and energy" around him. Here, he was using a scene to guide him, and said the biggest challenge of the soundtrack was "adapting what I do to a moving image, a story line, and dialogue."[57] As in New York, González Iñárritu supervised these recordings, but this time would give specific directions. For example, instructing Sánchez to stop or start when Riggan uttered certain words.[53] González Iñárritu also shaped the overall feel of the soundtrack. He wanted it to grow crazier throughout the film, so for the end tracks Sánchez would overdub up to four drum tracks on top of each other.[54][55] Additionally, González Iñárritu was not satisfied with the quality of the sound from the previous recordings: it was too good. Instead, he wanted an instrument that sounded like it hadn't been played in years, to tie in with state of the theatre in the film.[53] To achieve this, Sánchez adjusted his setup; detuning the drums and stacking different kinds of cymbals on top of one another were among the techniques he used.[52][56] Amusingly, this process was included in the film – the first sound in Birdman is in fact Sánchez asking González Iñárritu a question in Spanish, followed by his detuning of the drums.[52]
In between the two studio recordings, Sánchez was away touring with the Pat Metheny Group, which created a complication.[58] González Iñárritu wanted to include a drummer in the film from the very beginning,[51] saying "I wanted [Sánchez] to become a character in his own film, and have the play become a play of a play."[46] The drummer recommended his friend Nate Smith, but didn't decide on the music to play beforehand, resulting in Smith improvising during the shoots. This meant Sánchez had to learn and match him exactly during the recordings in Los Angeles,[51] noting "Alejandro was very specific and he would watch the clip over and over again to make sure that you could not tell that it was not him that was actually producing the sound. Never in my life have I had to do that."[55] The process was not aided by a different method of recording for the scene outside of St. James Theatre featuring Smith. The drums were moved out onto the street, and people carrying mics a block away would walk towards and past Sánchez as he was playing, to coordinate the sound and image of the film without the need for post-production effects.[54]
Best Original Score disqualification[edit]
On December 12, 2014, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released their longlist for the Academy Award for Best Original Score, from which Birdman was absent. Sánchez had received a note from the award committee the previous day explaining the decision, quoting rule fifteen of the 87th Academy Award Rules and writing they felt "the fact that the film also contains over a half an hour of non-original (mostly classical) music cues that are featured very prominently in numerous pivotal moments in the film made it difficult for the committee to accept your submission." Sánchez decided to launch an appeal, and along with González Iñárritu and the executive vice-president of Fox Music, sent letters to the chair of the Academy's music branch executive committee, Charles Fox, asking that the committee reconsider their decision.[59] One of the points they raised was that the committee had incorrectly calculated the ratio of classical to original music, which after being clarified Sánchez thought he was "on really solid ground."[60] A response from Fox on December 19 however, explained that a special meeting of the music committee was held, and although its members had "great respect" for the score and considered it "superb", thought that the classical music "was also used as scoring", "equally contributes to the effectiveness of the film", and that the musical identity of the film was created by both the drums and classical music. Ultimately, they did not overturn their decision.[59] Sánchez said that he and González Iñárritu were not satisfied with the explanation, and that "to not be able to even participate, to not be on the list, that's what's so disappointing."[60]
Release[edit]
On July 10, 2014, it was announced that Birdman had been selected as the opening film of the 71st Venice International Film Festival along with Mohsen Makhmalbaf's new film.[61] The film got a limited release on October 17, 2014, with a theatre count of 4 in North America,[62][63] and on November 14, 2014, it was released nationwide in 857 theatres.[64]

Critical response[edit]
Birdman received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for Keaton, Norton, and Stone's performances, Iñárritu's direction and screenplay, and Lubezki's cinematography. At Rotten Tomatoes, it has a rating of 93% based on 257 reviews, with rating average of 8.5/10. The site's critical consensus states: "A thrilling leap forward for director Alejandro González Iñárritu, Birdman is an ambitious technical showcase powered by a layered story and outstanding performances from Michael Keaton and Edward Norton."[70] Metacritic gave the film a score of 88 out of 100, based on reviews from 49 critics, indicating "universal acclaim."[71]
The camera work, which depicts most of the film as one continuous take, was met with extensive acclaim for its execution and usage. The acting was widely praised, particularly Keaton,[72][73] with Peter Debruge of Variety calling the performance the "comeback of the century."[74] Debruge described the film as "a self aware showbiz satire" and called it "a triumph on every creative level."[75] Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph gave the film 5/5, with particular praise for the use of long takes by Emmanuel Lubezki, director of photography.[76] Richard Roeper gave the film an "A", and wrote that Keaton makes a serious case for an Academy Award for Best Actor nomination.[72]
Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton from At the Movies praised the film’s writing, direction, performances and cinematography. David also described the implementation of the percussion score as "really exciting", while Margaret summarised "it's just really beautifully written and stunningly performed and beautifully made." The pair both gave the film five stars, making Birdman the only film to receive such a rating from the hosts in 2014.[77][78]
Writing for The New Yorker, Richard Brody called the film "Godardian," comparing it to Pierrot le fou, Every Man for Himself, Alphaville, and Germany Year 90 Nine Zero, four classic films by French director Jean-Luc Godard.[79] However, he suggested the film fell short of reaching the same cinematic mastery, adding, "it’s not a good idea for a filmmaker to get in the ring with Mr. Godard."[79] Thematically, he also compared it to Opening Night by John Cassavetes.[79] He added that the actors played in "the sort of modern naturalism, without eccentricity of gesture, excess of expression, or heightened and formalistic precision, that is the business-casual of contemporary cinema."[79] He concluded that the film "trade[d] on facile, casual dichotomies of theatre versus cinema and art versus commerce" and "deliver[ed] a work of utterly familiar and unoriginal drama."[79] Also in The New Yorker, Anthony Lane rejected the film's suggestion that film critics are out to destroy films, explaining, "Someone could have told Iñárritu that critics, though often mean, are not preemptively so, and that anybody who'd say, as Tabitha does, “I’m going to destroy your play,” before actually seeing it, would not stay long in the job."[80]
In The New York Times, Manohla Dargis compared the main character to Icarus.[81] She also noted a reference to Susan Sontag's Against Interpretation in the dressing-room mirror.[81]
Noting the thematic pull between Riggan's insanity or actual superpowers, Travis LaCouter of First Things writes that "the importance of these powers—real or imagined—is apparent: They are for Riggan the thing beyond the labels, the kernel of his genius and, because he sees drawing upon them as selling out, the source of his great angst." LaCouter concludes that "the quirky profundity of this film is in how it dares the viewer to consider the everyday magic that we tend to ignore, repress, or resent."[82]
A number of critics have provided highly negative reviews, however. Reviewing it for Vanity Fair, Richard Lawson called the film "hoary" and "deceptively simple."[83] Scott Tobias, writing for The Dissolve, gave the film 1.5 stars. He commends Lubezki's cinematography as succeeding at "trapping viewers in a pressure-cooker atmosphere as Riggan and his players struggle to keep it together", but suggests that González Iñárritu is "incapable of modulation" and that there exists "a sourness to Birdman that Iñárritu can’t turn into wit."[84]
