Vores grande Budapest-cravings

Jeg vil gerne smage en The Grand Hotel Budapest-kage


- her er Agaha ved at konstruere én - det skal se ud som om, den vakler faretruende, men faktisk står den støt

- du vil gerne lugte til og lugte af The Grand Hotel Budapest-parfumen, Gustave H's uundværlige  L'Air de Panache, som faktisk nu findes som ikke-fiktiv, men er så godt som umulig at få fingre i -



- sådan her skal den forestille at dufte, følge Vogue:

Anderson approached several perfumeries to create a real L’Air de Panache before ultimately settling on the new Paris-based fragrance boutique, Nose, for the amusing assignment. “It’s our way of bringing fiction to life,” says Nose president Nicolas Cloutier, who worked with perfumer Mark Buxton to create an original scent that would fit right into Anderson’s quirky universe. The result is a blend that includes aldehyde top notes, which, Cloutier laughingly admits, traditionally appeal to the older women who are Gustave H.’s most beloved guests; there’s also bergamot, mandarin, amber—and a splash of green apple (if you’ve seen the film, you’ll know why the fruity ingredient made it in). Conceived as a labor of love rather than a commercial project, the scent was primarily gifted to the film’s actors. For those who are dying to know precisely what Gustave H.’s favorite fragrance really smells like, however, the scent is available to sample at Nose and a limited-edition batch of bottles are available to win on company's website.

For formel dårskab og formalistisk fjant

Da jeg introducerede Wes Andersons The Grand Budapest Hotel i Grand i mandags tog jeg udgangspunkt i David Denbys irriterende skeptiske anmeldelse i New Yorker, hvori det blandt andet hedder:

But knowingness and formalist whimsy should not, I think, be confused with high art - or at least not major art.

For jo, det skal! Indforståethed eller  og formel dårskab eller formalistisk fjant kan sagtens være kunst og betydelig kunst og er det tit og ofte:

Tristram Shandy

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Un Coup de Dés

Finnegans Wake

La vie mode d'emploi

Auricula

etc.

Good Golly, I love formalist folly!

For her er den eneste person med det navn, internettet kan finde:
