Illusionist, The

 

USA 2006, 110 minutes
Dir. Neil Burger
Genres: Drama, Suspense/Crime / Romance

Topics: Period - 1900s.

 

Aroview: Edward Norton plays an enigmatic magician who courts a Viennese Dutchness (Biel) with the art of illusion in this lush and mystical period romance.

Rufus Sewell as the unkindly Prince of Austria adds spark to an otherwise straight-forward narrative of lust, betrayal and revenge, and though it weaves magical intrigue into these conventions, this misses the internal logic and sophistication of the similar (and contemporaneous) film, THE PRESTIGE.
