The Darjeeling Limited

This one left an impression on me when I first saw it, and has grown better and better in my mind since then, so it was somewhat to my surprise and regret that, on revisiting Darjeeling, it seemed thinner and less satisfying than the idea of it that I've been carrying around - more disconnected, less rich with hints of the profound...which is not to say that I'd disavow my previous responses to the film, but rather that those responses have now acquired another layer, another filter of sorts, I guess. I still think that it's v.g., but it seems (and is) no longer as resonant as before.
