In Wes Anderson바카라s cinematic universe, order and symmetry pulse with their own life-force. They drive the manner in which characters intertwine spatially. Anderson exerts a hyper-specific control over every perforation of a look and the rhythms within which characters exist. The rules of emotional engagement are also dramatically redrawn. The best of his films바카라Moonrise Kingdom (2012) or The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)바카라combine his singular visual language with emotional valence. The weaker ones, like his previous film Asteroid City (2023), are too hemmed in by his obsessions바카라as awe-inducing eye-candy as emotionally static. Unfortunately, his latest The Phoenician Scheme is proof that Anderson isn바카라t quite willing to turn the boat in a different direction.
