FIFTY/FEWER: The Darjeeling Limited (Wes Anderson, 2007)

03 October 2007

The Darjeeling Limited is stunning in its visual sophistication and control and more serious than Anderson’s past work. The Anderson storyline, however—wealthy siblings reconciling their past against the pervasive spirit of their father—is now fully tired. A film I enjoy looking at more than watching.

    What did you think of the short? I only asked because I disliked it intensely, and you're the only one so far that I know who has yet to give a full seal of approval to the feature.
