The Phoenician Scheme
Read more: The Phoenician SchemeA lively, labyrinthine fable of grand entrepreneurship and the fickleness of fortune, with perfectly formed aesthetics and jazz-beat editing, cerebrally satisfying in its mannered whimsy, while, at its centre, it warmly nestles a sweet story of fatherly love. Roller-coster ride of international espionage, one-upmanship, high-altitude flirting, and deadly sibling rivalry. ★★★★☆
