The Darjeeling Limited/2007/91 minutes
directed by Wes Anderson
In The Darjeeling Limited, directed by Wes Anderson, three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins. One can also look at Darjeeling as a movie that acknowledges the struggle of family as community. The entire movie consists of the brothers wrestling with whether they can ultimately trust one another or not.
