Wes Anderson's latest film, The Phoenician Scheme, presented at the Cannes Film Festival, introduces a tone of frustration and somberness reflective of societal greed and immorality. Known for his meticulous, dollhouse-like aesthetic, Anderson's approach here feels more muted than usual, hinting at a personal exhaustion with the world's endless pursuit of excess. The film revolves around Benicio Del Toro's character, a wealthy 1950s tycoon grappling with legacy and survival amidst his ruthless ambitions, while his daughter's decision to pursue a nun's life contrasts sharply with her father's values.
Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme showcases his signature style but infuses it with a somber tone, reflecting frustrations over greed and immorality in society.
Benicio Del Toro's character, Anatole Zsa Zsa Korda, embodies the ruthless tycoon archetype, whose survival and success stem from deep moral corruption.
