WES ANDERSON’S SHORT FILM: HOTEL CHEVALIER

So, we realize that it’s been more than a minute since Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited was released in theaters, but we came across the 13 minute film prequal Hotel Chevalier this week on vimeo and were reminded how entertaining it is…also, we were reminded that Natalie Portman bears more than her acting chops in it. Meow. If you haven’t seen the short in a while, or yet,  you can watch it in it’s entirety below, again…or for the first time. The entire short was shot in one hotel room in Paris where Jason Schwartzman’s character Jack Whitman and his x-girlfriend Natalie Portman break up in Wes’ signature style to Peter Sarstedt’s 1969 hit, “Where Do You Go My Lovely?”. The scene sets the tone and fills in some of the back story for Schwartzman’s character before he joins his older brothers on his spiritual journey to India in Darjeeling. Since we are rapping about movies, anyone seen this movie the Star Wars? Just caught it and I think it’s going to be huge too.
