The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

[rubberghost]

will this movie be released on blu-ray? great f'ing movie. for those who don't know... if you like, natalie portman,(as i do), she's quite, "exposed", in this film. be sure and watch, part one.

[NoQuestion]

Short answer yes. When? No one knows it hadn't been announced yet and I don't think its high on there release list.

[xDisciplex]

Before they release this they should do his other films first. At the top of that list should be Rushmore.

If I'm not mistaken, Bottle Rocket is getting the Criterion treatment this fall which means a simultaneous release on DVD and Blu-Ray

I almost picked up this movie on SDVD ( ) last weekend... For those of you guys that have seen it, how does it compare with Wes Anderson's other films? I liked the other films, but havent picked it up yet because I had a few other titles a little higher up on my list.

[DutchBoy]

I wanna see this one, haven't yet...

I'm pulling for 'The Life Aquatic' myself...

The GF has watched all his movies and she really liked it. I almost feel asleep. You can get the DVD for $10 from Netflix.

if you like his other films, you'll like this one too. it's a good flick. it's a little sexier than his other films, and visually pleasing all together.

it's actually two films. there's a short and a full length feature.

Compared to other Wes Anderson films, how does this rack up?

It's by far the worst.

However, I just ordered it yesterday from B&N

[thelittleprince]

Fun movie! One of my favorites! I love the soundtrack!

[amoergosum]

Does anyone know if there's going to be a european release?
Man...the region code system sucks.

Is this worth a blind buy?

If you like Anderson's other movies, sure. If not, no.

This is a great Blu-Ray, in fact it was the first Criterion I ever bought. Listening to the commentary after about 9 months (always takes me forever to get around to these things).

Anyways, here's my take on Wes Anderson's filmography:
1. Fantastic Mr. Fox
2. The Darjeeling Limited
3. Bottle Rocket
4. Rushmore
5/6.) The Royal Tennembaums/The Life Aquatic

I like (if not love) all of Wes Anderson's films, so just because The Royal Tennembaums and Rushmore are more towards the bottom doesn't mean I consider them inferior movies. They just don't hit a cord with me the same way those first three do. I'm planing on a Anderson-thon leading up to the release of Moonrise Kingdom (which I'm really excited for).

Does anybody else have a copy of the Darjeeling Criterion blu-ray with back cover art different to the back cover pictured on this site? In place of the plain blue art pictured here, mine actually has a further illustration of the train cars winding around a bridge and a man is sitting on top of the train with a green shirt seen from behind. Everything else about my disc is the same(features,front cover,etc). I just noticed this recently and have not seen another copy in stores for comparison. I got my copy in early 2011, so it's not from a recent printing that may have had some kind of cover art change. Just wondering if anybody knows what might be going on here.

What you're referring to is more of a paper insert featuring the UPC code and the like. It comes in the plastic wrapping when bought new, but it isn't a part of the actual cover.

Watched this again last night and it still stuns me people consider this "lesser Anderson." It's so damn good. BD looks amazing too.

[X12Celtics3]

I think that I have different taste in Anderson movies than most of the people who have posted so far. If I was to rank these movies, it would look like this:

1. Fantastic Mr. Fox
2. The Darjeeling Limited
3. The Royal Tenenbaums
4. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
5. Bottle Rocket
6. Rushmore

I thought that Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Darjeeling Limited, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou were great, while Bottle rocket was merely good. I didn't much care for Rushmore on my first viewing of it, but maybe if I see it again I will like it more. I have to be in a certain mindset for Wes Anderson movies, so maybe I just didn't see Rushmore in the best circumstances for me to enjoy the movie.

[Tyger]

oh man, you need to see Rushmore again! It did take me a few viewings, but now I love it so much, easily my favorite.
