Wes Anderson Mocks Trump’s Movie Tariffs at Cannes: ‘Can You Hold Up the Movie in Customs? It Doesn’t Ship That Way’


Wes Anderson addressed Trump's proposed foreign film tariff at a Cannes press conference for his new film “The Phoenician Scheme."

The film is a droll three-hander, starring Benicio del Toro, Michael Cera and breakout Mia Threapleton, who is the daughter of Kate Winslet. Del Toro plays business magnate Zsa-zsa Korda, one of the richest men in Europe and subject of repeated assassination attempts, while Threapleton portrays his estranged daughter, a smoking and alcohol-swilling nun named Sister Liesel. Rounding out the “Phoenician Scheme” cast is Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Jeffrey Wright, Riz Ahmed, Scarlett Johansson, Richard Ayoade, Mathieu Amalric, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis and Benedict Cumberbatch, all of whom have starred in at least one previous Anderson feature.
