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? :)

Nice description, raf. Makes me want to see it more (except for the Owen Wilson bit, which I completely agree with you about).

I walked around for days after seeing it completely in a daze. Soo beautiful. The story isn't something you can follow in a linear way, but it speaks poigniantly to the search they are on; there are no real obvious answers. Very true to life in my opinion. And easily one of the most captivating visual creations i've seen in a while.
As a designer, I adored the amount of graphic detail put in to this film.

Saw it last night.
I agree with Ampersanderson's sentiments. Much more absorbing than I expected it to be. I want to watch it again already.

Glad to hear the positive reviews on this. I saw this finally this weekend. i was prepared for the letdown given some articles I read.
Personally, I loved it, and it's been rattling around in my brain for a couple days now. It had a certain warmth and humanity to it, that really grabbed me.
I love his voice and his films. The fact that he has a recognizable style and voice is all the more endearing to me. Nobody else is making films the way he is.

a friend of mine kept urging me to watch the royal tenenbuams with her. she said it was the funniest movie ever, and that the humor would be right up my alley...
after i saw it she asked 'wasn't that awesome?' and i responded 'it was an interesting movie. the characters were mostly obnoxious, but overall well filmed. but it wasnt funny.'
she insisted it was
i insisted it wasn't. it's mostly depressing. all of his characters/stories are like that.
i might watch it if enough people hounded me i suppose, just dont tell me its funny
- whats wrong with you? its SUPER funny.horton
- life aquatic was kinda funny, but mostly due to willem dafoe7point34
- I cry for your sense of humor.

I enjoyed the film, especially after seeing the making of the film, and how it was filmed on a adapted moving train. Quite superior.

I watched this last night - It was interesting and enjoyable - some nice lines, beautiful shots, and awesome soundtrack. I often feel like Anderson movies require a second viewing before I can really make and opinion - it's kind of like listening to a new album.
