Anderson’s latest, The Phoenician Scheme, does not disappoint, although it also does not stand with his best works (which are, most recently, 2012’s Moonlight Kingdom and 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel). This degree of daring is part of what gives Anderson’s films their edge, so that even when much of it feels familiar, you know you are always in potentially dangerous territory.

Anderson and cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel actually shot the film on 35mm celluloid using the VistaVision process, so it is a genuine technological throwback that looks absolutely gorgeous on Universal’s 4K UHD. Perhaps owing to the inevitable Criterion Collection release, the only supplement included is the 15-minute ‘œBehind The Phoenician Scheme,’ which is comprised of four behind-the-scenes featurettes that offer tantalizing, but hardly comprehensive, insight into the film’s production process.
