What inspired The Darjeeling Limited?
He made many films and I began to learn from that and I was also part of my inspiration to want to make movies, then I saw Louis Malle’s documentaries about India which are about India in 1968 to 72 whenever he was there—70 or something like that.

Why was Jack always barefoot in Darjeeling Limited?

Is The Darjeeling Limited worth watching?
It is certainly a world worth visiting, though a short stay may be preferable to an extended sojourn. At the New York Film Festival — where it will be shown as the opening-night selection this evening — “The Darjeeling Limited” will be preceded by a short, written and directed by Mr. Anderson, called “Hotel Chevalier.”
