Natalie Portman is one hot lady. I mean yes, we've seen her - almost - naked before (remember "Closer") but this time, it's much better. And by better, I mean we get to see more of her acting talent, not to mention some great shots of her wonderful body. Which, for a lady of her stature - both literally and figuratively (for those who don't know, she's absolutely tiny) is saying something.

"Hotel Chevalier" (directed by Wes Anderson) is a 17-minute short film which takes place in one room of a French hotel (Hotel Chevalier) and serves as some sort of short epilogue to one (heartbreaking) love story and as prologue to another emotional quest for truth and brotherly love told by the much-hyped and eagerly awaited "The Darjeeling Limited" starring Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman.

It's rumored to be a great short movie...

"The Darjeeling Limited" tells the story of three American brothers who have not been on the best of terms in years and who decide to set off on a train journey which carries them across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. And, as it is only natural, each of them brings a whole world of memories and haunting personal woes and longings into the mix, but none more sensual and visually provocative as the moments acted out by Schwartzman and Portman in the prelude which is "Hotel Chevalier".

Film.Com describes some of the screen magic. "In one shot, Schwartzman gently pulls off Portman's clothes to reveal her body from behind, and a later shot has Portman, nude, standing still in a doorway, one foot up against the frame. It's a beautiful shot, and one that's made even more pertinent by Sarstedt's melancholic lyrics on the soundtrack. It's the sexiest thing that Anderson has ever done".

"Hotel Chevalier" has made its public premiere at Apple stores in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and San Francisco, and rumors already say that it will be added to theatrical showings of "The Darjeeling Limited" after it has run for a few weeks. Looking forward to that - and in the meantime, here are some stills from the movie, just to set the mood.
