The book also features critical essays by Ali Arikan, Steven Boone, David Bordwell, Olivia Collette, and Christopher Laverty interviews with costume designer Milena Canonero, composer Alexandre Desplat, lead actor Ralph Fiennes, production designer Adam Stockhausen, and cinematographer Robert Yeoman and an introduction by playwright Anne Washburn. Through a series of interviews with Seitz, Anderson shares the story behind The Grand Budapest Hotel’s conception, personal anecdotes about the making of the film, and the wide variety of sources that inspired it - from author Stefan Zweig to filmmaker Ernst Lubitsch to photochrom landscapes from turn-of-the-century Middle Europe. Seitz describes The Grand Budapest Hotel perfectly: “It’s a twelve-layer wedding cake of a film, yet, as you’re devouring it, you don’t necessarily think about all the work that went into it - only that it’s delicious.” Now he takes readers behind the scenes to dissect every layer.
