Jason Schwartzman appears in a supporting role in Wes Anderson‘s The Grand Budapest Hotel. The film stars Ralph Fiennes as Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel who is framed for the murder of an elderly lover. “I do feel like Wes hears things and sees things in our lives, in the real world that people do kind of miss,” Schwartzman told uInterview in an exclusive video interview.

Many of those oddities are on full display with Fiennes’ character, Gustave H. “He is like the ultimate concierge, he prides himself on making everything for the people that he services, and his life is devoted to making things elegant,” Schwartzman told uInterview.

Schwartzman, the son of Talia Shire, a member of the famed Coppola family, began his acting career with Anderson in the 1998 feature film Rushmore. Schwartzman has since gained fame for his quirky roles in I Heart Huckabees, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, as well as the voice of Ash Fox in the animated film Fantastic Mr. Fox. Schwartzman also played Cousin Ben in Anderson’s critically acclaimed Moonrise Kingdom, which won the American Film Institute’s Award for Movie of the Year in 2012.

The Grand Budapest Hotel is currently playing in theaters.
