Darjeeling anyone..?Click on image to zoom in

Come along to mightysmall and you'll realise there is always lots of chat about tea. Who wants a cup? Which type? Is Tamsin's organic, caffeine free stuff actually drinkable? (You get the picture.)

This blog in fact is not about tea but about a good film I watched at the weekend. The film is called The Darjeeling Limited and is the latest film directed by Wes Anderson and Written by Roman Coppola. The cast is good. Bill Murray, Angelica Houston, Owen Wilson, Adrian Brody etc. They have all worked together before previously on the Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic.

The movie was borne out of the success of a short film which Wes Anderson created first called Hotel Chevalier. The short film is on the DVD as a prologue which I thought was great, it worked almost like a secret before you see the full length film.

The two films are great, they are funny, quirky and beautifully shot.
The story itself is based on three brothers who haven't spoken for a year and go on a spiritual journey across India in the hope of bonding. The characters are brilliant. Oh and I'm told that Natalie Portman in her first ever nude scene also made it worth the watch ;)

Anyway it has my recommendation for some light entertainment.

Hopefully it will be your cup of tea.
