The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

The Phoenician Scheme

This is the story of a family, and a family business.

Zsa-zsa Korda, one of the richest men in Europe, has survived his 6th recorded plane crash.

Zsa-zsa appoints his only daughter, Liesl, a nun, the sole heir to the Korda estate.

But with various groups set on disrupting the Korda's Phoenicia enterprise, surviving assassination attempts soon become the most pressing matter.

For long-time Wes Anderson fans (from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, through to The Grand Budapest Hotel), his familiar signature style will be a return to immaculately arranged form - visually arresting, and charming throughout.

Featuring a typically all-star cast, including; Benicio del Toro, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Bryan Cranston, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright and Scarlett Johansson.
