Movies on the Big Screen

The Phoenician Scheme

Sat, Aug 9, 7PM

2025 | Comedy/Adventure | Directed by Wes Anderson, Starring Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera | 1h 41m | PG-13

Zsa-Zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro) is one of the richest men on Earth, a deceptive businessman on the verge of being assassinated at any second. Sister Leil (Mia Threapleton), his estranged daughter and a novice nun, is determined to get justice for her murdered mother. The two are brought back into each other’s lives as Korda needs to collect funds for his unfinished railway track, and one of the people on his itinerary might be Leil’s mother’s murderer. They both hit the road, which naturally invites issues along the way. Bjorn (Michael Cera), a Norwegian insect tutor, joins them on the trip, and the trio encounter the usual Anderson antics. These include, but are not limited to, a basketball-playing prince, a sham marriage and gifted hand grenades.

The Phoenician Scheme is exactly what you want out of a Wes Anderson film. It is charming, witty and gorgeous to look at.” – Isaac Minah, The Indiependent

“The result is a heightened clarity—revealing the distinctive world view that Anderson’s methods embody—and an unusually direct emotionalism.” – Richard Brody, The New Yorker
