Anderson has now done the ultimate: convinced Natalie Portman to do her first
nude scene for his short,
The Hotel
Chevalier. The film is a companion piece to Anderson's forthcoming The
Darjeeling Limited and stars Portman and Jason Schwartzman. They are ex-lovers
who meet in a Paris hotel room, make passionate love and then stand on the
balcony to quietly gaze out at the city below. The film is fairly somber and
mysterious--Portman is covered in bruises, something clearly has happened.
Anderson is hoping to attach this film to the front of
Darjeeling
(it will definitely be on the DVD). For now, though, you can download it for
free at
iTunes.
