Darjeeling Limited - A Wes Anderson Movie

Cinematography is just brilliant. Makes you think, why indian filmmakers can't get such perspective. But I guess thats Wes Anderson's magic sauce. Story is good, but at times it feels storytelling has slowed down to near stop, before it picks the pace back again. But it works in the end, overall its a very good Wes Anderson movie, not in the same league as Grand Budapest, but good nevertheless.

Super . must see this movie . Nice travel film

This is seeking a niche of art-house weird and does it with an all star cast on good form, good script and nice production values. You can Concentrate on the plentiful good parts in this: I can see why this film has its fans. I appreciate it's intelligence and originality. The mini short story prequel, multiple star cameos, side trips into rural India, believeable quirks, charming touches, self mockery... it all adds up to a very nice cup of tea. I loved the conductor: Just one of many fine ways the director reminded us we were in India!I was disappointed the scene scouts had not done a better job. The actual Darjeeling railway was perhaps too complex, small, too tight in every way for a big film crew and logistically challenging. But what about other more scenic areas? And the other issue I struggled with was some of the gratuitous language and behaviour, even allowing for an attempt at stupidly dysfunctional.That said I came away entertained and impressed. Not many others in this genre, it will stand out in the annals of cinema and has a place in my DVD librbary/RECOMMENDED... er... yup, OK that's a yes then.

Having seen majority of Wes Anderson's movies, some 2-3 times, this one only (?) 90% ... Starts so beautifully, and continues great while on the train, later a bit depressing and transitions between the scenes not so smooth. Not as much clarity as in The Grand Budapest Hotel. Still overall an enjoyable funny movie with a bit of emotional learning.

'The Darjeeling Limited' is another kooky gem from Wes Anderson and if you know 'The Life Aquatic' or 'Royal Tenenbaums', then you'll know what to expect. The direction is very stylised but completely captivating. Owen Wilson is hilarious, as are Adrian Brody and Jason Schwartzman. The relationship between the brothers is very believable and the dialogue and their familiarity add real appeal to the overall story. There are many wonderful scenes and I found Brody's dry delivery of some lines only heightened the humour in them. The storyline is charming, about reconnecting with family and resolving past issues, and it meanders along at a gentle pace, but manages to hold you attention for the whole duration. There is also a short film at the start involving Schwartzman and Natalie Portman which is both touching and a serendipitous addition. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and would recommend it to all fans of Anderson's past work.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

Doesn't really hang together. Weird mix of comedy and some kind of unclear deeper meaning. Not sure why it's set in India, but some of the scenery is beautiful.

Typical Wes Anderson, quirky. In ways similar to the Tenenbaums. Not his best but enjoyable. Love the soundtrack.3½
