I just watched the Phoenician Scheme here in the theatre and I loved it. To me it’s such a clear example of Wes melding different qualities from different eras of his film-making; this had elements of the self-aware theatrical (Asteroid City) and, at the same time, it had the character narratives and performances of a Wes Anderson picture from a decade ago.
For me, this film helped reinforce the fact that Wes has, in fact, evolved quite a bit over the course of his filmmaking career.
Hey I really loved this writing!

Excellent. So excited for this year of cinema
