Good to hear from you, Will. Haven’t seen Darjeeling Ltd, though I’ve enjoyed others of Wes Anderson’s movies, mostly.

Anderson lost me about halfway through The Life Aquatic, and I haven’t recalibrated myself to his later work. I do feel a kind of instinctive urge to see the Darjeeling Ltd, though less for a satisfying story than for the occasional glimmers of visual pleasure his movies bestow, comparable to what one feels while walking through a museum: You won’t like every piece, but once in a while you find a painting that thrills you.

If you took out the spaces between those images that make up his movies, you’d have a very nice picture book.
