The Phoenician Scheme

Opens June 6

The latest from auteur Wes Anderson, The Phoenician Scheme tells the story of a family and a family business.

Starring Benicio del Toro as Zsa-zsa Korda, one of the richest men in Europe, Mia Threapleton as his daughter/a nun Liesl, and Michael Cera as their tutor Bjorn. With Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, and Hope Davis.

In preparation for our release of The Phoenician Scheme on June 5, the JBFC presents Wes Anderson Abroad. Between May 31 and June 5, revisit a selection of Anderson’s internationally focused films, including The Darjeeling Limited, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Grand Budapest Hoteland The French Dispatch.

"His tender, witty, wondrous The Phoenician Scheme is the most Andersonian Anderson film to date—but then again, they all are, and that’s the fun of them."
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
"In many ways the heart of Anderson’s film… Threapleton is so good in part because you can see the conflict play out on her face, even as she delivers Anderson’s idiosyncratic dialogue with rhythmic perfection. She is also just fantastically cool, rocking a habit like a Met Gala look."
Esther Zuckerman, The Daily Beast
