CANNES, France (AP) — When Michael Cera was announced as joining the cast of amovie for the first time, the prevailing response was: Hadn’t he already been in a Wes Anderson movie?So seemingly aligned in sensibility and style are Cera and Anderson that you could easily imagine a whole fake filmography. It is, for a slightly more corduroyed corner of the movie world, an actor-director pairing as destined as Scorsese and De Niro — even if “The Phoenician Scheme” is (checks notes one last time) their first movie together.

“I would remember,” Cera deadpans. “I would never have passed up the opportunity.”“The Phoenician Scheme,” which Focus Features releases Friday in theaters, stars Benicio del Toro as the international tycoon Zsa-zsa Korda, who after a lifetime of swindling and exploiting has decided to make his daughter, a novitiate named Liesl (Mia Threapleton), the heir to his estate.

Cera plays Liesl’s Norwegian tutor Bjørn Lund. And because of the strong leading performances, you couldn’t quite say Cera steals the show, he’s certainly one of the very best things about “The Phoenician Scheme” — and that’s something for a movie that includes Tom Hanks and Bryan Cranston playing a game of HORSE. Bjørn is an entomologist, which means Cera spends a sizable portion of the movie in a bow tie with an insect gently poised on his finger.

“He is sort of a bug, himself,” Cera, speaking in an interview at the Cannes Film Festival shortly beforeLurex woven fabrics, for example, in dazzling jewel tones designed to look handwoven, were favored for swimwear and raincoats, as well as washable clothing.

Finally, the exhibit gives a sense of the creative process at Liebes’ weaving studios. Her bright red personal loom is on view, with a partially woven textile still on it. There are also handwoven samples exploring colors and textures, and photos of her studio teams at work.After her death, her works were scattered among various museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Oakland Museum of California, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Arts and Design, as well as the Cooper Hewitt.
