Some people dislike Wes Anderson and the movies he makes. I am not one of those people so if you are particularly astute you might pick up on a slight bias. This movie is a beautiful experience that communicates a fairly simple message but not necessarily full of simple characters.
Things working for this movie:
- An Excellent soundtrack. (staple of a Wes Anderson movie)
- Vibrant visual world that sets the exact atmosphere Wes is going for.
- Details, Details, Details
- Great performances by Wilson, Brody, and Shwartzman
- The increasingly funny fact that there is almost nothing spiritual about their spiritual journey.
While not as funny as his previous films I think that The Darjeeling limited will hold up as just as good of a film as his best.
