Hotel Chevalier is a short film by director Wes Anderson, released in 2007. Starring Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman as former lovers who reunite in a Paris hotel room, the 13-minute film acts as a prologue to Andersons 2007 feature The Darjeeling Limited. Shot on location in a Parisian hotel by a small crew, the film was self-financed by Anderson, who initially intended it to be a stand-alone work. It was first shown at the Venice Film Festival premi�re of the feature film on September 2, 2007, and made its own debut later that month at Apple Stores in four American cities. The day after its premi�re, it was made available for free from the iTunes Store for one month, during which it was downloaded (music download) more than 500,000 times. Hotel Chevalier became one of the most-discussed short films of the year, with much popular attention drawn in particular by Portmans extended nude scene (nudity in film). The film garnered near-universal critical acclaim, with reviewers praising it as rich, poignant and carefully constructed, and comparing it favorably with The Darjeeling Limited.
