Wes Anderson’s new short film, Hotel Chevalier, is now available for free at iTunes! Starring Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman, the movie is described as “Part 1 of The Darjeeling Limited,” referring to Anderson’s new movie The Darjeeling Limited, opening in New York on Saturday and in limited release on October 5.
In Hotel Chevalier, Schwartzman’s character has a tryst with an ex-girlfriend, played by Portman, and it’s an integral part to the story told in “Darjeeling.” The short is absolutely mandatory viewing before seeing Anderson’s latest, since the scene is referred to later in the movie, and it allows us to know a lot more about Jack’s character the first time we meet him.
