Wes Anderson's new movie, The Darjeeling Limited, opens the New York Film Festival today.As someone who totally digs what this cat is up to, I have been anxiously awaiting this release and can't wait till it makes it out here to the rust belt.
Anderson creates this neat little world in his movies that kind of straddles the real and fantasy worlds. One theme that seems to always carry through in his movies is the fall from grace. He pays such meticulous attention to costumes, set coloring and music that you can watch the movies over and over again, always picking up something you didn't see the first time.
I won't carry on and on about him, but will link up a very favorable review from this morning's Times.
Update>> I pulled down a copy of the trailer and also watched the short film, Hotel Chevalier, over at iTunes, which is apparently a prelude to the full movie.

You can download Wes' short film for free on iTunes.
'Hotel Chevalier is set in a hotel room in France and is a “brief coda to a doomed romance and the prologue to The Darjeeling Limited.”'

Oh right on...thank you! They talked about that short in the review in the paper and said it would be released on the DVD, but I will go out and grab it this weekend.
Thanks!
