Wes Anderson short FILM?

EDIT:

Wow I stumbled upon this great short film on I-TUNES. The film is called Hotel Chevalerie and was directed by Wes Anderson(The Darjeeling Limited), the film stars Jason Shwartzman and Natalie Portman. The short was produced as a prelude to The Darjeeling Limited but is great just on it's own. This is one of the great short films I've been privileged to see, considering this was done but a very accomplished director and with professional equipment that doesn't come as much of a surprise though. In a way, this could just be a scene from a larger feature(the darjeeling limited?) but then again I guess all shorts could.

Even though Portman didn't say or do much I got the feeling that she's a real great actress. I've seen her in other great performances but I think this short really challenged her. Wes' short actually features a pretty explicit sex scene and Portman handled it very well. I guess it's not really a sex scenem because it's not implied that sex actually happens, but you definitely see some skin.

Anyway, if you have i-tunes download HOTEL CHEVALERIE for FREE, this film really makes me want to go out and see 'The Darjeeling Limited'.
