The Life and Many Romances of Jude Law

In 2014, he appeared in Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, playing the younger version of the author figure who helps frame the story. The film was colorful, precise, melancholic, and packed with a large ensemble of familiar faces.

Law’s role was not the loudest in the movie, but it gave him a place inside one of Anderson’s most acclaimed works. By this point, he was becoming the kind of actor who could move easily through prestige ensembles, franchise films, theatre, and smaller character parts.
