Review: Austen and Anderson

June 22, 2025

Probably a little late, certainly a little bit short on detail. Jane Austen Ruined My Life is great and French, and despite that a quite lovely film which does not draw on the French Cinema’s endless supply of existential angst. Phoenician Scheme is an entertaining dark comedy which has more stars then there are in heaven (yes an MGM reference) and features Wes Anderson at his Wes Andersoniest (throwback to my own Nick Cage locution—which I promise not to use again for a few weeks)

Run, don’t walk, to see The Devil Wears Prada 2. Film: Crime 101 ***** Groundhog Day
