The Joy of Cinema
Not too many modern filmmakers actually care about actual filmmaking these days. One exception is Wes Anderson who is so meticulous about every single thing seen and heard in every single shot of his movies that usually you have to see his films more than once. The same care has gone into the making of "The Darjeeling Limited" but this time most people should be able to "get it" with one viewing -- the story is much more straight-forward than his last two efforts. It's also very funny and very sad and ultimately very uplifting. The acting is superb, the scenery is gorgeous and the dialogue is quirky but realistic. What more could you ask for? Oh right, as usual, Anderson's pop music choices are pitch perfect, especially the use of three Kinks' songs from the "Lola versus Powerman and the Money-Go-Round" album.
Run, don't walk.
