This is the best short film I have even seen. Not that I've seen that many, but I've seen a few.

The direction, the acting and the writing (or, perhaps -no, definitely- the UNDERSTATEMENT in the writing and the acting) is absolutely flawless. Jason Schwarzmann (sp?) displays an unexpected ability to play a role that is perhaps a little different than you would imagine for him. But of course, the immortal Natalie Portman can do anything and she plays this part in such a way that you think about it for a long while afterward.

The Darjeeling Limited was a decent movie (and I emphasize decent) but The Hotel Chevalier was absolutely great. Worth the price of admission even if you leave before the actual movie starts.
