The Illusionist

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2007)

If you are looking for a movie that has great actors, amazing settings, a breath-taking story, wonderful costumes and photography, then you MUST see THE ILLUSIONIST. It is intriguing, shocking (in a good way) and sensational at the same time. The way colors blend into the picture really takes you back in time around the beginning of cinema...But what makes this movie brilliant is the impressive work of Edward Norton, who can go from calm to passionate, from calculate to desperate, from furious to broken to pieces, all in a glance. And the look in his eyes towards the climax of the film really stays with you. It's not just a movie about magic, it is magical!
