Wes Anderson’s passion for craftsmanship is evident in his films, especially his latest, 'The Phoenician Scheme', which combines quirky storytelling with heartfelt narratives. The film follows Anatoly "Zsa-Zsa" Korda, a beleaguered 1950s industrialist, as he reconnects with his daughter Liesl amidst complex family dynamics. His unique approach to filmmaking, characterized by strong ensembles and richly detailed sets, allows him to create a distinctive atmosphere that feels both familiar and refreshingly original. Despite occasional resemblance to past works, Anderson’s latest film offers a fresh blend of emotional depth and humor.
Only occasionally does it feel too familiar: Part of that is the way Anderson's work has evolved over time, the influences or collaborators from one project paying forward to the next.
Accompanied by Bjørn, a hapless Norwegian tutor who’s taken a shine to Liesl, the three of them set out to complete the final phases of an epic construction project.
