    Beautifully shot, Hotel Chevalier is a nice prologue to The Darjeeling Limited. Natalie Portman's Bottom makes a nice special guest appearance! ;o)

    REVIEW

    Design...( read more)ed as a semi-independent prelude to "The Darjeeling Limited", "Hotel Chevalier" proves that ten minutes of Wes Anderson's wizardry are worth more than many another big-budget director's feature-length film. It's a study in the pain and the lust only love can bring, as well as a variation of Anderson's trademark motif, control. Where "The Darjeeling Limited" bubbles over with substance abuse, poisonous snakes, restroom romps, brotherly affection and fatal accidents, "Hotel Chevalier" is a quiet and slightly eerie two-character mini drama set in a lavish Merchant-Ivory style suite. The suite's sole resident is a reclusive control-freak writer in a long-distance relationship (Jason Schwartzman). We watch as he half enjoys, half endures a surprise visit by his control-freak girlfriend (Natalie Portman). Is she a woman of flesh and blood, or is she just an imaginary incarnation of the jet-setting girl from "Where do you go to my lovely", the song Peter keeps playing on his portable stereo? There's no knowing what's real and what isn't in Anderson's paper moon world. But the importance of fact and fiction fades as she reclines on the bed and has Peter take off her spike-heeled boots. It's the most emotionally and sexually loaded scene I have seen in a long time, like a 20-second tango. It seems some of Natalie Portman's best work is done in shorts set in Paris. Remember Tom Tykwer's "True"?

    Loved the performances (big fan of both Portman and Schwartzman) but for a Wes Anderson creation, it was dissapointing, as was the movie that followed it.

    This short 13 minute movie serves as a prelude to The Darjeeling Limited especially to Jason Schwartzman's character. Interesting but not really that good.

    Modern romance as one poet quoted.Strongly tied with vast avant-garde sentiments,this candy short by Anderson speaks louder than his feature film does.Salty taste...

    I got to see Natalie Portmans phanny!!!! I sound like a perv, yeah, I know, but who cares, she is hot. Although, I don't like the short hair. She was hottest in Star Wars.

    High praises to Portman for showing her naked butt. It kind of fills in Schwartzman's character in The Darjeeling Limited.
