If, like me, the disappointment of the ill-formed, charmless "Life Aquatic" sent you into weeks-long depression, you'll be glad to hear that Wes Anderson is back in form with "Darjeeling Express". "LA", let's hope, was just a mometary hiccup and not the start of a slide toward irrelevance.
"Darjeeling Express" gives one hope. Go see it! Well, you probably would anyway.

"Life Aquatic" is not so bad, I'm told, if you just watch it repeatedly.
It only seems ill-formed and charmless the first few viewings.
Right, Marquis?
Sounds like the cinematic version of Stockholm Syndrome.
Correction: Film title is "The Darjeeling Limited"
It's true that Life Aquatic was a cinematic mess but - by the fifth viewing - only the most jaded movie-goers are dry-eyed when Steve Zissou finally spots the jaguar shark: the sad, misanthropic souls stuffing popcorn down into the hole where their hearts used to be.
That being said, however, I do look forward to Anderson's adaptation of Agatha Christie's masala-murder-mystery, "Darjeeling Express"
