17The Phoenician Scheme | Stylish, Strange, and Hilarious
Wes Anderson returns with The Phoenician Scheme, a darkly comedic tale about a mysterious businessman, his nun-daughter heir, and the many enemies who want him dead. Blending Anderson’s signature deadpan style with his unique visual flourishes—including a rare 4:5 aspect ratio—the film is both hilarious and odd in all the best ways.
Benicio del Toro delivers a standout performance, joined by the equally entertaining Michael Cera and Mia Threapleton. While the plot may a little convoluted at times, the ride is so enjoyable you probably won’t mind. My screening was nearly full, and the crowd was laughing often.
It may not be for everyone—but if you’re a Wes Anderson fan, this is a must-see.
