...21st century.

Could the right theoretically use a similar vision of common good to justify its agenda?MJS: I wouldn’t say that the common good should be pursued at the expense of fairness.

After cultivating his unique cinematic perspective in earlier films like “Rushmore” and “The Royal Tenenbaums,” Anderson both solidifies and reaches beyond his trademark vision in “The Darjeeling Limited.” His fifth feature, which he authored alongside Jason Schwartzman and Roman Coppola, son of Francis Ford, is an oddly intense portrait of brotherhood and loss. It chronicles three siblings—played by Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Schwartzman?...
