The Phoenician Scheme (OV)

In the organizer's words:

By Wes Anderson,

with Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Rupert Friend.

Written and directed by acclaimed auteur Wes Anderson ("Grand Budapest Hotel", Moonrise Kingdom", "The Royal Tenenbaums", "Asteroid City"), this espionage black comedy is a thoroughly enjoyable romp which bears the elegant, eccentric mark of its esoteric director. After yet another assassination attempt, wealthy tycoon Zsa-zsa Korda (del Toro; "Sicario", "Traffic") appoints his only daughter, Liesl, (Threapleton), as sole heir to his estate, even though her moral principles as a nun are wholly at odds with Zsa-zsa's corrupt business practices. As Korda embarks on a new enterprise, they soon become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists and determined assassins. Wes Anderson's latest black comedy fits perfectly into the auteur director's long list of arthouse gems which are a treasure trove of visual splendor, captivating characters and thought-provoking narratives.
