The Darjeeling Ltd.
Wes Anderson is a genius. He has only made a handful of movies, but people talk of him as a cult-director. Only a few directors in Hollywood managed to do that (Tarantino comes to my mind). While I liked The Royal Tennenbaums, I loved Life Aquatic. I haven’t seen Rushmore yet, but I’m quite sure it will perfectly fit in his movie list.
Anyway yesterday I saw his new work The Darjeeling Ltd. Again he uses the usual suspects as his actors: Owen Wilson, Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray (only cameo). Jason Schwartzman and Adrien Brody are new in his “crew”, but fit perfectly in.
The movie is about three brothers on a journey through India, seeking spiritual satisfaction. Funny situations, great characters and highly entertaining dialouges make, what should be known as a Wes-Anderson-Film. Love it or leave it. I give it 9 out of 10 points.
