‘Tis the Season

And so Movie Season begins. The Darjeeling Limited is a very solid film, not as simple as Rushmore, or complex as The Royal Tenenbaums, it falls into a nice niche of it’s own. Like every Wes Anderson film it deals with people in pain and denial; people with baggage, literally and figuratively in this case. The movie triumphs in the way that most Wes Anderson films do, in it’s subtleties. Subtlety of acting, of setting, and plot, Subtlety in the way it all comes together with the cinematography and the score, and the art direction that always makes me feel like I’m viewing a world simultaneously in the 20’s and the present. It’s a movie worth seeing and I was lucky enough to see several trailers for films that will be added to my must see list for this season. All in all it’s looking like there will be a wealth of decent cinema this year.
