Abstract
The diegetic time in Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel is set in a fictionalized year 1932; the action occurs in the also non-existent Republic of Zubrowka. This study explores these space-temporal displacements, coherent within the heterotopian conception of the Andersonian universe, which are nevertheless able to express the tensions existing in Europe and the spirit of this continent at that time. Like in the rest of Anderson’s movies, heterocronia has to do with the nostalgic approach that sustains his complete filmography, and that in this case is reminiscent of the works of Austrian writer Stefan Zweig.
