THE DARJEELING LIMITED (2007)
SYNOPSIS
In director Wes Anderson's THE DARJEELING
LIMITED, 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), and they
eventually find themselves stranded alone in the
middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a
printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment,
a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins. Owen
Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman
star in this film about their adventure and their
friendship.
THE DARJEELING LIMITED is directed by Wes
Anderson from a screenplay by Anderson &
Roman Coppola & Jason Schwartzman. Joining
Wilson, Schwartzman and Brody in the cast are
Anjelica Huston, Amara Karan, Wally Wolodarsky,
Camilla Rutherford and Irrfan Khan. The film is
produced by Wes Anderson, Scott Rudin, Roman
Coppola and Lydia Dean Pilcher and executive
produced by Steven Rales.
