    The Telepathic Butterflies  Jul 29, 2008
    Seu Jorge became known in North America for his Brazilian covers of David Bowie, in the film The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. This jumping dance track goes back to the favela for a melancholic reflection on desire across class boundaries. (Globe and Mail)

    Hal Ashby's films are tributes to the underdog  May 25, 2008
    Bud Cort, who invested Harold with depth and sensitivity as a 22-year-old actor, recently played supporting characters in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and the Jim Carrey vehicle The Number 23. Gordon and Cort are a cinematic pairing to rival Hepburn and Tracy, albeit a good deal stranger. (Jakarta Post, Indonesia -- Features)

    Film Underground Presents: "Harold and Maude"  Apr 11, 2008
    Harold is played by Bud Cort, whose last credit to my memory is "The Bond Company Stooge" in "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou." The young Cort has a disconcerting presence in "Harold and Maude." His complexion is noticeably pale and his voice is incongruously low and mature compared to his looks. Cort has an interesting way of carrying himself with a reserved, knowing irony, but it's really only a fragile facade. (The New Hampshire, NH)

    Apatow's latest 'Drillbit Taylor' has a lot of holes  Mar 21, 2008
    While not particularly funny in such flawed films as A Night at the Museum, The Life Aquatic or You, Me and Dupree, he was hilarious in sharper comedies such as Zoolander, Wedding Crashers and Meet the Parents. Wilson has occasional funny moments here, but he's hampered by a disjointed story and bland, slapstick gags. (USA Today -- Life)

    Off the rails|  Jan 21, 2008
    And even though the director of 'The Royal Tenenbaums' and 'The Life Aquatic' gets accused of remaking the same film just moving the location from New York to underwater to, now, India; not even bothering to change the cast much 'The Darjeeling Limited' finds him breaking new ground. And not just because he's on a different continent. (iAfrica.com)

    Producers as auteurs  Jan 8, 2008
    "Darjeeling" is Rudin's third with Wes Anderson, and is very much a piece with "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou" and "The Royal Tenenbaums" -- which is another way of noting that Rudin has let that particular director make exactly the movies he intends. The same applies to Baumbach, whose signature use of twisted comic characters and deeply caustic views of American life align with past Rudin productions like David O. Russell's "I Heart Huckabees," both "South Park" epics, "Zoolander" and... (Variety)

    A passage to India  Dec 23, 2007
    The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) has another familial gang, with Bill Murray as a celebrity oceanographer on the trail of a murderous shark. Both these films hinge on the delusional pomposity of the paterfamilias, a favourite Anderson theme. (The Age)

    Of late, though, he's been tied up with Ben Stiller (who was also in Tenenbaums) and Vince Vaughn in comedy blockbusters, so took only acting duties in Anderson's The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou and now The Darjeeling Limited.

    Scott Rudin drove 'No Country'  Dec 7, 2007
    "The producer was more hands-on with Noah Baumbach's "Margot at the Wedding," a movie that was still evolving at the start of production. After Baumbach did a pass on "The Life Aquatic" for Wes Anderson, Rudin helped him to develop his next. "The trick was to give it enough narrative," says Rudin, "to get from one point to another without feeling compromised or manipulated in any way, to give it both narrative rigor and looseness. "Rudin had an instinct that Kidman might go for the lead role of... (Variety)

    the reel critic  Dec 7, 2007
    We all love "Rushmore," "The Life Aquatic" and Anderson's fresh, unusually engaging aesthetic that always has moments of startling beauty. However, "The Darjeeling Limited" made me question if there is such a thing as too much Wes Anderson. (Middlebury College -- The Campus, VT)

    The Heartbreak Kid AU Review  Dec 1, 2007
    If you've seen The Life Aquatic, you'll groan at the recycling of all the most noteworthy songs from that soundtrack. They're tossed into this movie to help give support to Malin Ackerman's initial allure, but by the end, it just feels as tacked on, generic and mishandled as the rest of the film does.

    Magical mysteryWes Anderson takes a spiritual journey in The Darjeeling Limited  Nov 23, 2007
    " The three travelled to India to write the film, with much of the action shot on a real train. As with all Anderson's films, the attention to detail is striking, with the camera lingering languidly on the diverse landscape and the often confused faces of its protagonists, all of whom display Anderson's trademark deadpan black humour. Bill Murray makes a mysterious appearance But the film leaves many fundamental questions unanswered - namely why their mother (Angelica Houston) leaves for India... (BBC News -- Entertainment)

    The great train reverie  Oct 7, 2007
    From the humble crime caper Bottle Rocket to the underrated The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Anderson's works are fully original, mini-epics that revel in exploring broken -- and often irreparable -- relationships. His latest effort, The Darjeeling Limited, stays true to his winning formula while advancing his skills as a filmmaker, ensuring copycat directors will have a tough time aping his style anytime soon.

    Throw brother from the train  Oct 5, 2007
    Once you stop wondering how you might get your hands on a turban like the steward s, you have to face the hard fact that Anderson has made a movie that could very much double as a catalog, just like his hipster salute, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. The preciousness of this new enterprise, like that of the previous one, pollutes the human relationships until everything seems like a pose. (Boston Globe)

    'The Darjeeling Limited' review  Oct 4, 2007
    Three estranged brothers bond and get rid of some literal and figurative baggage during a trip across India in Wes Anderson's colorful and kinetic seriocomedy "The Darjeeling Limited." Breaking no new ground thematically, pic comes closer to "The Royal Tenenbaums" than "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou," but without achieving the poignance of "Rushmore." Inventively staged pic should satisfy the upscale, youth and cult auds Anderson has developed, though it's unlikely to draw significantly... (Variety)

    Wes Anderson And Jason Schwartzman On Journeying From 'Rushmore' To 'Darjeeling Limited'  Oct 4, 2007
    Anderson: I do sometimes feel that characters from "Rushmore" could go into "The Life Aquatic" in a very natural way, and there aren't many other movies they could go into and feel like they weren't out of left field. Schwartzman: It would be great to see them meet. (VHI.com -- Music News)

    Review: `Darjeeling' too self-satisfied  Oct 2, 2007
    As in "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou," Anderson seems more concerned with precious minutiae the quirky, kitschy clutter surrounding his eccentric characters, all of which he shoots head-on in wide angle than with developing people and scenarios that feel even vaguely real.

    'Darjeeling Limited' doesn't always stay on the rails  Sep 28, 2007
    It is superior to the flawed Life Aquatic, Anderson's last film. But in the director's canon, it doesn't have the touching sweetness of the superb Rushmore or the manic energy of Anderson's first feature, Bottle Rocket. (USA Today -- Life)

    They respectively suggested satirical versions of Renoir s beneficence (Bottle Rocket), Salinger s neuroses (Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums) and Spielberg s megalomania (The Life Aquatic) all to a British Invasion beat. But this time Anderson adds a plangent self-consciousness that hails a different pop influence. (New York Press)

    'The Darjeeling Limited': An eccentric road trip, with lots of emotional baggage  Sep 27, 2007
    "Darjeeling" carries Anderson's distinctive mark: As in his films "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou," familiars like Anjelica Huston and the recently hospitalized Owen Wilson populate a bit of space made personal by its crosshatching of eccentricity and family ties. But it also sticks closely to some conventions the road trip, the bittersweet comedy that have done well for its studio. (International Herald Tribune -- Arts)

    'Darjeeling's' prequel  Sep 24, 2007
    By Chris Lee, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer September 24, 2007 Wes Anderson didn't set out to create one of the year's most talked about short films when he wrote, directed and produced the 13-minute "Hotel Chevalier." Instead, the quirky, creative force behind such films as "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou" intended the short as a kind of prequel or "introduction" to his comedic road drama, "The Darjeeling Limited," which lands in theaters Oct. 5.
