Hotel Chevalier (the film festival prologue to The Darjeeling Limited) is a short film about a fractured relationship, set in a Paris hotel room and starring Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman.
The Darjeeling Limited stars Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and Adrien Brody as three brothers who, at the insistence of the oldest, take a train ride through India together in order to strengthen their bond. Even though the vacation goes wrong in ways they do not anticipate, the strangeness of their setting and some revealing honesty produces some surprising changes in all of them.
"A tall tale of mishaps and misadventure that settles into a thoughtful, moving journey. By turns funny, smart and poignant, it's one of the most satisfying films of 2007." -- Aubrey Day, Total Film
