The Phoenician Scheme Review

'The Phoenician Scheme' is Awkwardly Hilarious High-Level Filmmaking. Led by Benicio del Toro's perfectly over-the-top performance, director Wes Anderson's new movie is as absurdly funny as it is beautiful to look at. Opening in select theaters on May 30th before opening wide on June 6th is the latest film from visionary director Wes Anderson (‘The Royal Tenenbaums’) entitled ‘The Phoenician Scheme’.

After being disappointed by his last outing, ‘Asteroid City’, I’m happy to report that director Wes Anderson has returned to form with ‘The Phoenician Scheme’, which is awkwardly funny and gives off ‘Royal Tenenbaums’ vibes. The movie takes full advantage of Anderson’s unique and quirky humor and is beautiful to look at. Each frame is meticulously designed, and is so breathtaking, it’s like watching at a moving painting.
