The Darjeeling Limited

Brothers Francis, Peter, and Jack Hammond, estranged for a year, board the Darjeeling Limited, a train crisscrossing India on a self-appointed mission of reconciliation and enlightenment. Their quest for brotherhood and inner peace, however, quickly descends into chaos, marked by an accidental pharmacy raid and a skirmish with local authorities, revealing the gulf between their pretensions and reality. Wes Anderson's meticulous craftsmanship frames their misadventures with an ironic detachment, transforming a botched pilgrimage into a visually lush, sardonically humorous portrait of familial dysfunction.
