They just don’t make directors like Wes Anderson anymore. For one, he wears a safari jacket… Who wears a safari jacket? Adventurous people, that’s who. For another, his quirky visual palate, knack for huge ensemble casts and dollhouse-style cinematography have earned him a loyal legion of fans. How loyal? His rabid supporters drove ticket sales for his latest film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, to more than $800,000 on its opening weekend… on just four screens. That’s a lot of fans. The comedy stars Ralph Fiennes as a concierge dealing with the theft of a Renaissance painting at the titular hotel. The closest screen to Toledo is Ann Arbor, so take a date and see what all the hipsters are raving about.
8:30pm and 8:45pm. Opens Thursday, March 27. $10. The State Theater, 233 S. State St., Ann Arbor. 734-761-8667. michtheater.org
