Spotlight on Wes Anderson
Wes Anderson's captivating road movie that views life as a Great Train of Being. Francis (Owen Wilson) organizes a railway trip across India so that he, middle brother Peter (Adrien Brody), and baby Jack (Jason Schwartzman) can get to know one another as adults. The more Francis micromanages their spiritual quest, the more the heavens (and the audience) laugh at his presumption. Darjeeling is a movie about people who literally carry a lot of emotional baggage, metaphorically unpack it, and spiritually lighten their loads. Which is closer to enlightenment than most movies get. –Philadelphia InquirerA picture that certain Brits and connoisseurs of British colloquial English might call "a grower" … more moving and funny the more I think about it.
