The Phoenician Scheme (15)

The inimitable Wes Anderson’s latest fantasy movie stars Benicio del Toro as Zsa-Zsa Korda, European industrialist, citizen of nowhere and shady dealer in everything. ‘Mister 5%’ has enemies aplenty, and attempts on his life are so numerous that after surviving his sixth plane crash he calls his much-neglected nun of a daughter, Liesl, and makes her his sole heir. Together they embark on Korda’s wildest scheme ever, a land and sea infrastructure venture stretching across the fictional North African country of Phoenicia. How can this possibly end well…??? A welter of quirky characters are played with gusto by stars such as Michael Cera and Willem Dafoe.
