The way things go
I’ve talked a number of times of my love for the films of Wes Anderson. The village video down the street has a little corner that caught my eye so recently I’ve been playing catch up hitting the titles I missed, namely Bottle Rocket and The Darjeeling Limited.
Although not a darling of many critics, The Life Aquatic is still my favorite although Darjeeling has moved into a close second. The Indian landscape paired with fantastic production design makes for a very appealing case for visiting the country’s beautiful north. The film has also had the amusing side effecty of introducing me to a new realm of music along with the films of Satyajit Ray and Merchant-Ivory.
