Review: The exhilarating Fenician scheme and one of the best films by Wes Anderson

I’m a big fan of Wes Anderson and his film, e The Fenician scheme It is the type of film that, at first glance, might seem more or less the same, but this would be short.

Of course, the pastel palette returned, the symmetrical compositions and the sets similar to theatrical diorama. But under all that visual parade, there is a surprisingly intimate story here, which feels more emotionally rooted than most of Anderson’s recent work.

The plot focuses on Zsa-Zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro), a fabulously rich European industrialist who appoints his only daughter, a nun, as heir in his estate and to assume his activity.

While Korda embarks on a new corporate adventure, they soon become the target of plot of magnates, foreign terrorists and certain killers. The whole thing is fun and rolled the audience.

Anderson shakes attention in this film while zero in the relationship between father and daughter (My Thropleton), with Michael Cera Ringing a hilariously impassive tutor that acts as a third confused wheel of the film.

While the trio rejects a series of foreign magnates and terrorists, the real tension is not in physical danger, but in the fact that Korda and her daughter can understand each other before it is too late.

Anderson himself described the film as “A story about a father and his daughter”, one who has postponed a long time until “spoke to [him] Still. “The personal connection shows in the film.

The emotional arc between Del Toro and Threepleton is a strong development of the character and narration, and what begins as an absurd adventure ends with a note that is really influencing. The film gives its whimsy brand, yes, but it also makes a sincere swing in the exploration of what the inheritance means if transmitted through something more spiritual than a simple bank account.

Benicio Del Toro is a revolt here who plays an incredibly interesting character and offers one of the funniest performances of his career. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of him so much in a movie!

He is combined with Threepleton, who is fantastic as his daughter, and Cera also offers incredibly fun performance as the anxious and academic observer captured in the middle of an increasingly unbridled story.

The way the Phoenician scheme reduces the usual Anderson chaos is refreshing. The support cast is an embarrassment of wealth including Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson, Riz ahmedAND Benedict Cumberbatchmostly orbit the central trio in orbit, never stealing the spotlight.

Their presence adds plot without crowding the main story. The result is a film that seems more concentrated than some of Anderson’s recent works, without sacrificing the style and absurdity, fans have learned to love.

There are times when the film threatens to spiral in excess complications, but always fills with an acute writing and that emotional thread below. The story offers comments on wealth and inheritance, and gently affects the absurdity of those who think they can even control.

The Fenician scheme Anderson is doing what does best, but with more heart and a little less artifice. It is a film on the connection dressed in the costume of a capeve, with a soft and persistent melancholy under all the delicious absurdity.

If you are a fan of the movies that Wes Anderson makes, you will like this! I think he’s one of his best. I loved it!
