The Diorama of Deception: Wes Anderson's Quiet Rebellion

Wes Anderson doesn't direct films so much as he curates living dioramas—immaculately arranged, tonally wry, symmetrical tableaus of whimsy and rot. The Phoenician Scheme, his latest, currently in theaters, is no exception. It’s a velvet-covered dagger, a pastel riot of familial betrayal, capitalism's gloss, and the soft revolution of choosing kindness over empire.
