The Five Eras of Wes Anderson + 'The Phoenician Scheme' Review
from The Extra Credits · host Kelsi and Trey
Kelsi and Trey review Wes Anderson's newest film The Phoenician Scheme and also trace the five distinct eras of Anderson’s career. Anderson’s latest pastel-laced genre experiment is part espionage caper, part theological road movie, and part anti-capitalist fever dream. We break down how this film fits into the “post-Grand Budapest” phase of his work, explore its sub-narratives and surreal spiritual detours, and celebrate its quietly brilliant three-hander core: Benicio del Toro as the morally compromised war profiteer, Mia Threapleton as his estranged nun-daughter, and Michael Cera as a bug-loving tutor.The Extra Credits YouTube ChannelBecome a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereHow to link Patreon to Spotify and AppleLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsTikTok: The Extra CreditsReddit: r/TheExtraCreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: [email protected]
