The Phoenician Scheme
Description
THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME (2025) Cert 15. 1h 41m.
Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Richard Ayoade. Directed by Wes Anderson
Wes Anderson returns with another of his star-packed, beautifully detailed and elegantly oddball tales of dark deeds and mysterious schemes. No big name Hollywood actor, it would seem, can refuse a call from the industry's most idiosyncratic director. Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Willem Dafoe, Benedict Cumberbatch and Anderson regular Bill Murray make cameo appearances but the heart of the film belongs to Benicio del Toro as a notorious multinational businessman, and Kate Winslet's daughter Mia Threapleton in a star-making role as his only child, a novitiate nun he has picked to take over his empire. Del Toro needs her help to execute a complex and hugely ambitious new business venture, but members of his far-flung family, as well as the US government, seem intent on stopping him. The plot hardly matters, though, because as always your senses are dazzled by the elegant images, bizarre plot-twists and drily comical turns, as sharp and dry and satisfying as the perfect Martini.
Why not make an evening of it and join us for dinner before the movie? Book for dinner here.
