The Hotel Chevalier

I downloaded and watched the free short film “The Hotel Chevalier” by Wes Anderson last night (you can get it on iTunes). It is the prologue to his new film “The Darjeeling Limited,” which is greatly anticipated in this Cabinet of Booze. As for “The Hotel Chevalier,” well, you should watch it. It’s 13 minutes long and features Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman (wow). It is not so safe for work, but then, what is? Natalie Portman is . . . ummm . . . wow. There’s just something about Wes Anderson’s films, the look and feel of them, that I love. Here’s a great article/interview with him in New York Magazine.
