Yes, Wes Anderson has created another whimsical yet poignant narrative about three detached brothers taking a journey through India, hoping to find some kind of spiritual enlightenment.
Anderson uses India as he does with all his locations in his other films, its vibrant and slightly obscure but it’s never touristy and always completely appropriate. They have an unplanned adventure, a consequence of the ambiguous medicine they all seem to be tossing back. And end up kicked off the train and end up abandoned in the “real” India with their numerous travel cases. But instead of rather typically “discovering” each other, they delve deeper inside their basic personality. Then Francis springs a surprise: Their journey will end with a meeting with their mother, who for a while has been living as a nun in a mountaintop Indian convent. As soon as you get a look at her appearance, mannerisms and behaviour, you can understand more about the three brothers.
