A story of a industrialist trotting the globe with his estranged kid, the director's latest all-star project funny, touching — and one of his best.

Oscar-winning actor Benicio Del Toro says writer-director Wes Anderson meticulously plans every scene in his movies, but still welcomes input from his cast.

Wes Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme" features some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson and Benicio Del Toro.

During a period of churning audiences and a lemminglike rush toward streaming, the eight-time Oscar nominee has made movies that have reliably coaxed spectators back into brick-and-mortar theaters. Like Christopher Nolan and James Cameron, Anderson has become a reliable brand.

A week after the film's premiere at Cannes and the seven and a half minute standing ovation that followed, Threapleton is still soaking it in. "I don't truly believe that this is all actually happening," she said at a press junket in New York City. "It does just feel like a very long dream."

In my review of “Asteroid City ,” I wrote that “Anderson works with a palette of super-bright colors — and the result looks like a drunk, pastel-colored rainbow exploded all over the screen.” “The Phoenician Scheme” is a 1950s period piece that looks even more obnoxious.
