Plot: Zsa-Zsa Korda is a cunning man. He's a sly businessman without scruples who amassed an incredible amount of wealth. After surviving yet another assassination attempt, he summons his estranged daughter to inherit his legacy. She plans to become a nun, but wants to give her father one last chance. Several nations have banded against his latest plan and made it unfeasible, so Korda is forced to renegotiate prior deals he forged with his partners. The biggest challenge will be convincing his half-brother, a man who allegedly killed one of Korda's wives and is even less trustworthy than Zsa-zsa.

I went in expecting this to be the "Wes Anderson too much", but it turned out better than expected. The twist is that this is probably one of Anderson's most comical and cartoonish films to date. Everything is way extra, it's all winks and nudges, part parody, part pastiche, part unadulterated cheese. The presentation is impeccable, the performances are fun and over-the-top, and the pacing is on point. It's a film that radiates joy and had me smiling from start to finish.
