Darjeeling Limited
November 25, 2007
3.5 stars out of 5
Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman are three brothers travelling through India on a spiritual quest. (Bill Murray has a two-scene cameo that is winning in the way only Murray can be). It is a buddy film, and a travel film, and a comedy, and a drama, which is why it is getting 3.5 stars instead of 4. Basically, this film is all over the map. Despite its lack of coherence, if you like the work of director Wes Anderson, or any of the leading actors, or if you are fascinated by India (much of the film appears to have been shot on location), then I recommend this film. It is only in a few theaters at this point, but I wanted a review on the record for later, when the DVD comes out.
