still from Wes Anderson’s Hotel Chevalier, 2007
Wes Anderson fans who just can’t wait for this weekend’s release of The Darjeeling Limited will be happy to discover that they can now get a taste of what’s to come with Hotel Chevalier – a 13-minute short film (and prequel to The Darjeeling Limited) staring Natalie Portman and Jason Schwartzman as estranged lovers sharing an intimate moment in a Paris hotel room.
Wes Anderson is genius. Natalie Portman is beautiful.
Download and watch it for free here (must have iTunes installed).
