The Wes Anderson System: The Phoenician Scheme Director and His Team on Going Their Own Way

The Oscar winner is joined onscreen by Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Bill Murray, who has appeared in almost every one of Anderson’s movies.
