Hotel Chevalier may have been a sensation with the critics but the film has received most attention for featuring Natalie Portman’s first ever fully nude scene.
The 17-minute short takes place in one room of a French hotel (Hotel Chevalier) and serves as “a short epilogue of one heartbreaking history of love and the prologue of the travel told in "The Darjeeling Limited." However it is being made available free online as part of a viral marketing campaign.The day after its première, it was made available for free from the iTunes Store for one month, during which it was downloaded 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 Portman's extended nude scene. Natalie and co-star Jason Schwartzman spend a majority of Wes Anderson’s ten minute-long short getting hot ‘n’ heavy in a hotel room.
