Wes Anderson mocks Donald Trump's movie tariffs plan

Speaking at a Cannes Film Festival press conference for his new film The Phoenician Scheme, Anderson drew laughter from the audience as he remarked: "Can you hold up the movie in customs? It doesn't ship that way."

He said: "The tariff is interesting because I've never heard of a 100 per cent tariff before. I'm not an expert in that area of economics, but I feel that means he's saying he's going to take all the money. 

"And then what do we get? So it's complicated to me."

The director was in Cannes for the premiere of The Phoenician Scheme, a dark three-hander shot partially in Germany and distributed by Focus Features.
