The Phoenician Scheme

THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME (https://www.focusfeatures.com/the-phoenician-scheme/) marks Wes Anderson’s thirteenth feature film (if you count the collection of 4 shorts based on Roald Dahl stories he did for Netflix in 2024 as one film). Benicio Del Toro stars as wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda who decides to appoint his only daughter, a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a dubious new enterprise (the scheme of the title) he & his daughter become the target of rival tycoons, foreign terrorists, & determined assassins. We've got a review plus some movie news and a recommendation of a film you might want to seek out.
