Not my favourite Wes Anderson film, but every time I watch it, I love it more. Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, and Adrien Brody seem like they are actual brothers. Schwartzman's facial hair gives me mustache envy though.
The Darjeeling Limited is the tale of the brothers Whitman as they go on a spiritual journey to India to find their mother. You can spot an Anderson film the moment it hits the screen. They have a supremely understated quality that doesn't always sit well with everyone. The dialogue is what puts these movies over the top. The table talk between the three is classic. Great cameos by Bill Murray (an Anderson mainstay), and Natalie Portman. Make sure to watch the short film Hotel Chevalier, which is featured on the disc, before Darjeeling to fully understand the relationship dynamics.
