SKINOPSISNatalie Portman reveals her skinny profile and a surprisingly meaty tush in Hotel Chevalier, the prologue to the full-length The Darjeeling Limited. Her character's bruises hint at a previous abusive relationship, or perhaps delightfully rough play. We prefer to imagine the latter.3 REASONS TO BUY THIS FILM
REVIEW
Hotel Chevalier (2007, 13 min): This slight but sexy short is a moody prologue designed to get audiences excited for the full-length The Darjeeling Limited. As the minimal dialogue raises more questions than it answers, I'd have to consider it a successful mission. Jason Schwartzman plays Jack, a heartbroken American in Paris who gets a phone call from ex-girlfriend Natalie Portman (who doesn't appear in Darjeeling). They hook up, plant a few clues for the audience, and give us a taste of Wes Anderson's trademark mannered dialogue and expert compositions. As originally released for the iPod, however, much of that beauty was lost, though Schwartzman's formidable mustache and Portman's fine tush are unmistakable. Now available on DVD as part of The Darjeeling Limited, its full glamour is there for all to see. (Are you talking about the film or Natalie Portman's backside? - Ed.) -- David Gorgos
