Wes Anderson on the personal inspirations for The Phoenician Scheme
From The Royal Tenenbaums and Fantastic Mr. Fox to The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and Asteroid City, Wes Anderson has been fascinated with flawed fathers. These disappointing dads aim to reconnect to their children through cockamamie ploys, be it an odd road trip, a dangerous sea mission, a reckless heist, or a faked cancer diagnosis. Anderson's latest film is actually named for his protagonist's paternal ploy: The Phoenician Scheme.
