I'm pretty excited about this...
...not least of all because E and I spent three months in India in 2004, and about three weeks of that time in Darjeeling.
In addition to the eclectic soundtrack on offer, the Darjeeling Limited website has some neat little on-location making-of clips. We saw many of those same places firsthand on our Indian sojourn, including the Osian Dunes. Although the trains we rode bear little resemblance to the film's namesake.
Wes Anderson has also done something interesting in making Hotel Chevalier, a short-film precursor to The Darjeeling Limited, available for free on iTunes. And I read somewhere this morning (can't remember where at the moment) that it may play ahead of The Darjeeling Limited in select theatres. Which would be kinda cool.
Now all I've gotta do is find time to go and see it.
