Just watched "Darjeeling limited". I loved it! It's super-funny without turning slapstick. Plus, what I always appreciate and rarely see in movies, it's about a Journey. The three quirky brothers start their Indian trip with the usual superficial crap - souvenirs, gurus, give-me-a-rupee-please - along the way, but the trip quickly becomes very personal, and even liberating.
I liked his footage of India, especially the first five minutes when Bill Murray was rushing to the train.
The downside is continuity, or the lack thereof. The movie significantly accelerates towards the end until it turns into a series of more or less independent shots.
