A review of 'The Phoenician Scheme' from Wes Anderson and in competition in Cannes Film Festival with Benicio Del Toro and all star cast
His latest plan, with the lofty name of the Korda Land And Sea Phoenician Infrastructure Scheme, has him enlisting his 20 year old daughter Liesl who is currently in training to become a nun, but whom he thinks could be better suited to ultimately take over his company and complicated financial dealings. There is also the shipping magnate (Jeffrey Wright) who could be crucial, a second cousin named Hilda (Scarlett Johansson in briefly) who could be new wife material , and finally leading up to his brother, the conniving Uncle Nubar (a very amusing Benedict Cumberbatch) who is big trouble in the family. Cast: Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, Richard Ayoade, Willem Dafoe , F. Murray Abraham
