The Phoenician Scheme: A Man of No Identity

June 20, 2025

Wes Anderson’s latest film, the Phoenician Scheme, is as visually precise and as deadpan quirky as always, with the minimal style of portraying characters in the new area since his film, French Dispatch.

The Phoenician Scheme is about the late life of industrial tycoon Zsa-Zsa Korda, who survived several assassination attempts and tried to convince his novice daughter, Sister Liesl, to inherit his business plan, named “the Phoenician Scheme.” Historically, the Phoenicians are referred to as a group of people who lived primarily in the region of Lebanon and Syria and spread through the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea around the Iron Age. Phoenician traders once dominated the Mediterranean and were rivalry with the Greeks contending for colonies. In the film, a stylish map of Phoenicia functions as title cards to showcase different chapters of Korda’s journey. Where this region is located remains undisclosed.

Short Film Review “With Arms Raised” A car ride, conversation, what we’ve experienced, personal judgements, and what we resort to is explored with both enigmatic then striking impact

“And I think to myself….what a wonderful world”. Louis Armstrong sang about this notion via his classic 1967 song, an ode to witnessing elements of our life that should be but some reminders of exactly what that concluding line of each verse indicates. Now we see our contemporary realities and, just being honest, it makes a sentiment like this seem SO overtly far away….perhaps even impossible….to accept or believe could be. It sounds harsh, but again, so much of what is occurring speaks not to beauty, but bedlam.

Short Film Review “Take Me Home” Cognitive disability and the power of simply wishing to move forward on full display with stirring, awareness-raising soul

The power to function. As people, we are richly blessed to have the wide ranging scope of what we can accomplish…physically and mentally…that aid in everything we desire to strive for and, ideally, accomplish.
