    Not as good as "Life Aquatic" imo, but worth seeing. It sort of lacks a proper story, but it's the beautifully crafted scenes it's worth watching for. I loved the "Luftwaffe Motors" retrospective.
    What I liked about Anderson movies was that he made me forget how annoying Owen Wilson was. That didn't work this time though and this might be the weak point of the film.

    The initial "Hotel Chevalier" part was neat, and it promised more. Think what you want, Natalie Portman is stunningly beautiful but I've seen her too many times try to play sexy without success. I thought she just didn't have it in her. This is the first time she actually is hot and it's a nice surprise. Beautifully filmed too, did you see the closeups of fuzzy little hair on her neck? :)
