The Darjeeling Limited

July 27th, 2009 Filed under: Movies, Reviews | Tags: comedy, drama, Movies

Wes Anderson’s has written some great films. I quite liked The Royal Tenenbaums and still haven’t got around to seeing The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, but I’ll have to get my hands on it to see if it’s half as good as his latest movie The Darjeeling Limited. Simply put The Darjeeling Limited is a master piece and the best film I’ve seen in the last year.

It follows three rich brothers as they travel around India trying to find themselves and bond with each other again like when they were kids. Their spiritual journey that is a little too well planned (laminated daily schedules) goes badly from the beginning, probably because of the all the Indian medication they’re downing. Once their antics got them kicked off a train in the middle of nowhere they were ready to give up and catch the next flight out of there. While finding their way back to civilization they stumble upon three children trying to cross a river. This is where their real journey begins.

I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, so what are waiting for? Go watch it!
