Loved it!

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2007)

I saw this movie during a 12 hour plane ride. And I absolutely loved, loved, loved this movie. Before this movie, I saw some others and they were not very good, average. So, when the Illusionist began, I was a bit bored, tired, thirsty, you know, that feeling if you have a long, long flight. Then I started this movie.
Immediately I was in another, mystic world, and I really, really loved it from minute 1. Beautiful cinematography, perfect styling (very elegant), all the actors perform wonderful and the 'tone' of the movie is just 100% my style. The film moves just fast enough and constantly there is happening something. Not too much, not too less.
At the end however, I had an aha- experience (a 'the usual suspects' one), but that was alright. I am still thinking about this movie and I am still puzzling what actually happened.
Great animations, I was amazed!
