the darjeeling limit be unlike the average comedy . while not be truly laugh out loud funny and the film be clever and well write and with memorable character and one liner that grow witty over time . the only type of movie it can be compare to be other film by wes anderson and the director of rushmore and the royal tenenbaums and and the love it or hate film and the life aquatic with steve zissou . all of his movie be extremely stylize and with slow motion sequence and wide lens that slightly distort the frame and and privilege and depress character with family issue all throw together in a slightly artificial and timeless and carefully detailed environment . while with the life aquatic he may have try to do too much and the darjeeling limit show anderson finally perfect his style . he know when to throw inside joke to his most loyal of fan and while keep his story fresh and personal and without acknowledge the critic who blame anderson for repeat himself . the film be absolutely engage from the very start with a hilarious and memorable cameo by bill murray and try to catch the darjeeling limit train in slow motion and yet be outrun by adrien brody peter to the tune of the kink this time tomorrow and one of the three kink song in the film ( all be accompany by slow motion sequence ) . brody and jason schwartzman and and owen wilson play the three whitman brother and peter and jack and and francis . wilson character have organize a spiritual journey through india with his brother who have not speak to one other since their father funeral a year ago . performance wise and the standout be wilson and in what might be his best role yet . owen wilson seem to play himself in all of his other movie and with wes anderson be the only writer or director to truly know how to use his talent . the character begin to realize that one can not force a spiritual journey and no matter how many temple visit and organize ritual perform for brotherly bond a print on a laminated itinerary . the bender that result be a ridiculously entertaining blend of comedy and drama successfully aid by anderson great choice of music and colorful and dynamic cinematography . extremely recommended viewing ( other than anderson previous effort ) before watch this amazing film be hotel chevalier and a 13 minute short film direct by anderson and star jason schwartzman and available for free download online through itunes . in the film and schwartzman play the same character that he play in the darjeeling limit . also star be natalie portman a jack ex girlfriend and who make a brief cameo in the feature film as well . the short film help establish schwartzman character and and provide clue on certain detail of the darjeeling limit . also and a couple of funny moment in the feature wouldn not make much sense without see the short . the emotional and yet blissful experience that be the darjeeling limit be wes anderson best film thus far and defeat rushmore for that top spot .
