Wes Anderson's latest film, 'The Phoenician Scheme', follows a character named Zsa-zsa Korda, a tycoon embodying the traits of classic European magnates. While perceiving Anderson as detached from reality, one can see his work is responsive to contemporary issues, as highlighted in past projects like 'Asteroid City', which was inspired by the pandemic. 'The Phoenician Scheme' contrasts this by offering a more humorous and whimsical narrative that critiques the behavior of today's wealthy elite, proving that Anderson's films are reflective of modern societal concerns.
Anderson described creating Zsa-zsa Korda, a character resembling historical magnates, as reflective of contemporary anxieties, acknowledging that 'we're all reading the same newspapers.'
In creating 'Asteroid City' during quarantine, Anderson channeled feelings of anxiety and claustrophobia, showing how current events influence artistic imagination.
