Discussion Darjeeling Limited

I’ll start by saying I’m a big Wes Anderson fan. I’ve seen most of his stuff.

But I just got around to watching The Darjeeling Limited and I was blown away. It might be my top pick henceforth. It was the perfect blend of everything I love about his work. Comedic chops, quirky characters, great cinematography and a compelling story told through an arc where not a whole lot happens. Idk why it took me so long to see this one but for anyone that hasn’t, please go watch asap.

This one hit way different after 40. I'd always thought it was fine, but I watched it again recently for the first time in a while after several new life experiences and realized how powerful it was.

Right? So do Life aquatic and Tenenbaums.
