Wes Anderson reports back. Can he reach his own master prank called “Grand Budapest Hotel”?
With “The Phoenician master prank” A film starts in the cinemas that probably not more after Wes Anderson (56) could scream. The only thing: In the past few years, the symmetrical pastel look seems to have worn a little and his always star-packed narrative style has become a little too anecdotic. What about his new work?
A family patriarch in the crosshairs – that's what it's about
A mysterious espionage affair is relaxed about a respected family business. The charismatic family patriarch Zsa-Zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro, 58) survives several aircraft tortures under mysterious circumstances. More and more signs indicate that these are not an accidents, but targeted attacks to destroy him and his life's work.
The tensions grow in the family and distrust spreads. Especially the relationship with his daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton, 24), who lives as a nun, is fragile. Together, father and daughter go on a dangerous journey in which hidden conflicts come to light and have been strongly put to the test.

Recipe for success with fatigue signs?
As a rule, the viewer knows what he can stand up for in a WESDONSON film and/or must: quirky but lovable but lovely, almost fairytale story courses in otherwise realistic settings as well as lots of situation comedy, which can sometimes be based on the tragedy. In short: Anderson likes to play with opposites. Most of the filmmakers fans agree that he has best been able to marry these three aspects in 2014 in “Grand Budapest Hotel”.
Even if you are truly not to be denied the attention to detail, the two films “The French Dispatch” and “Asteroid City” experienced even die -hard trailers last slight signs of fatigue. However, the trailers already show that “the Phoenician prank” does not move away from the well -known formula. Again, the topics of family, paternity and love as well as loss are the driving forces behind the plot. Again the strip invites you to a colorful trip with a fairy tale impact.

Everything with rank and names
There is also a standstill for an Anderson film Breathtaking ensemble To admire in addition to numerous repetition offenders. Whether Benicio del Toro, Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, Tom Hank and of course Bill Murray – the Anderson's star contingent again relies on well -known faces from previous collaborations.
If you like to serve what he or she awaits as a fan, you can look forward to “the Phoenician master prank” and a Wes Anderson in pure culture. For other Anderson supporters, on the other hand, the film could reinforce the desire that it would sometimes steer its creativity onto other lanes. And if you can't do anything with the works of the American anyway, you should make a wide range of the film again – but please keep an eye on the symmetry.
