THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME
“Wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda appoints his only daughter, a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a new enterprise, they soon become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists and determined assassins.” I’m hot and cold with Wes Anderson, but this is one of his better movies as of recently. Benicio Del Toro and Michael Cera are the standouts, but the whole cast is great. This feels slightly less doll-house theater like normal Wes, but it’s still clearly his vision, and he’s so good at doing this thing.
