HOTEL CHEVALIER (The 13 Minute Set-Up For Wes Anderson's DARJEELING LIMITED) Is Now Downloadable (For FREE) From iTunes!!

Published at:  Sep 27, 2007 12:22:36 PM CDT


Merrick here...


Wes Anderson's DARJEELING LIMITED hits this weekend. Those who've been following the film know it comes complete with a built-in "set-up"/intro for the movie itself.

The set-up material is called HOTEL CHEVALIER. It's now available for FREE download via iTunes. You might see it splashed across a banner at the top of the screen when you log on. Or, you can simply search for it & the free file is quickly findable (I used the term "hotel chev" and found it instantly).

PLEASE NOTE: it's about 13 minutes long and IS NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK!!!

    I've never seen any wes anderson film and I thought the short was very tasteful. Will definitely be seeing Darjeeling Limited!

    yay

    by darthnoodle

    finally she shows some skin. great ass, and side boob for a bonus.

    with that said, the short itself was pretty good. i feel like the prequel needs a prequel to explain their relationship and why he ran away (and how he can afford a 750euro hotel room). maybe these things will be explained in Darjeeling. i will let you know on friday.

    Regarding the song...

    by iowa snot client

    How did Wes manage to fit a 20-minute song into a 13-minute short? I swear that chorus goes by about 35 times.

    Can't all you foreign people just reset your itunes to a certain country? At the bottom of the main page, it has a country drop down menu. I thought you could do that and buy that way. but maybe I'm wrong.

    You *can* do that, but in order to start an American iTunes account, you need to not only enter a credit card number (which I don't have) and a billing address, but they need to be AMERICAN. That's an assload of trouble to go through..

    I'm angry it's not being shown with the film

    by larry of arabia

    Do the distributors think Wes Anderson's audiences won't understand? Out of all the directors with fan bases, his would be the most likely to "get it." His style even allows for it. Since 2002 when they handled "In America" and "28 Days Later" Fox Searchlight has managed to get almost everything right when handling films that are a little bit hard to market. I expect more from them.

    Now that I've seen it

    by larry of arabia

    That was just brilliantly shot and edited. Each shot underlined a sense of intimacy through distance. Laying down with the trunk between them, the reaction when room service arrived. The short is sensuous, not sexual. Yes, Portman is hot and that pose at the end was killer, but the mood of this was perfect.

    by heyscot

    This was fun to watch. I love how he sets up a scene. He always has something weird in his movies, but I like 'em. You remember them. Fun to watch and it's cool to see Schwartzman and Portman evolving as actors and doing something different. Good script.

    I Guess I Don't Get It.

    by two

    I adored Rushmore. I liked the hell out of Tenenbaums. But starting with that film and increasing in every film since, I can't stop being aware of the fact that EVERY SINGLE SHOT IS SQUARE TO THE FAR WALL, and usually CENTERED. It drives me bananas. It is such a weird compositional choice, and so overdone that I can't stop being aware of the filmmaking and settle in to the story and the characters. I love the actors he chooses and the quirky characters, the dialogue, but the filmmaking itself SCREAMS at me so much I can't enjoy it any more. (Sigh.) Based on the positive reactions here, maybe it's just me...

    What do you mean "not suitable" for work ?

    by itchy

    Natalie Portman's ass and side tit is suitable for every occasion. Hell, I showed that clip to my priest and he and I spent five minutes high-fiving each other and screaming "fuck yes I'd tap that !"

    by mastidon

    Its really too bad it won't be screened with it. There are a few good jokes in Darjeeling that require seeing Hotel. And no wonder Apple is giving it away with the built in iPod ad.
