The Darjeeling Limited

2007, Movie, 1h 32min

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).

Anderson uses India not in a touristy way, but as a backdrop that is very, very there.

Anderson again explores the sad peculiarity of a dysfunctional family, in what could be viewed as a companion-piece to The Royal Tenenbaums.

The usual pleasures of Anderson's work—the precise framing, eclectic soundtrack, and tiny marvels of production design; the offbeat humor; the well-proportioned, efficiently told story—are all present in The Darjeeling Limited
