Calling all girl dads! Wes Anderson has a new film for you. Starring Benicio del Toro as business tycoon Zsa Zsa Korda and Mia Threapleton as his estranged daughter Liesl, The Phoenician Scheme begins when Zsa Zsa calls upon Liesl to become the legal heir to his vast fortune as more and more of his rivals attempt to assassinate him. Hijinks ensue as the two face off against the customary starry ensemble.
On this episode of The Long Take Review, we shoutout our favorite players from Anderson’s troupe, compare The Phoenician Scheme to his other films, and try to discern what the film might be saying about family, religion, global politics, and how to live your best life.
We go into SPOILER MODE at the 22:54 minute mark. If you are not ready to scheme with spoilers, you can listen safely until then.
