Wes Anderson's latest film, The Phoenician Scheme, reaffirms his unique filmmaking style that blends intricate design and complex narratives with eccentric characters, such as patriarch Zsa-zsa Korda. Reflecting on his earlier dismay about his distinctive voice, Anderson acknowledges that his films naturally reflect his artistic sensibilities. The upcoming film showcases his trademark visual aesthetics and storytelling while presenting a charismatic yet flawed protagonist that comments on contemporary wealth and creativity. With each new project, Anderson seems to move closer to a perfected version of his creative vision, solidifying his distinctive place in contemporary cinema.
"My approach was to try to make it like Roald Dahl... I was always thinking, How would Roald Dahl have done it?"
"Somehow, each successive film inches a fraction closer to the Andersonian ideal... symmetrical, ornate, clever, complex."
"If only today's law-breaking one-percenters were this imaginative and charismatic."
"...he also has impeccable taste, a galvanizing spirit, a love of nature, and a lot of wise (and unwise) lessons to impart on his nine rambunctious sons."
