Darjeeling Limited

Wes Anderson is at it again and he has made a come back from his lackluster (my opinion) Life Aquatic. A brilliant script backed by some fine acting by Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman. Owen Wilson bumbles along in his usual style. They play three brothers who meet up to make a spiritual journey across North India. The cameos by Irfan Khan, Bill Murray and Natalie Portman were a nice touch too. An orey funny movie in bits and pieces that make a decent whole.

Rating: * * *
PS: Part I of the film was the bit that really hooked me.

the background of India lends itself well for the Wes Andersonisms. Thoroughly enjoyed it and the soundtrack, though limited, was spot on. Good shit

Did your version have "Hotel Chevalier", the 10 minute prequel to the film? That's what really got me hooked to the flick.

Yes it did. It was a cool touch indeed.
