The Illusionist

theillusionist

I decided to take a step away from my increasinly frequent stage of indie films and suggest something a little different. I still can't seem to break away from anything Sundance related.

This is a 2006 period drama written and directed by Neil Burger and starring Edward Norton, Jessica Biel, and Paul Giamatti. Based loosely on Steven Millhauser's story "Eisenheim the Illusionist", it tells the story of Eisenheim, a magician in turn of the 20th century Vienna. The film premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival

This is all i am going to say for suuuuch a good movie.

My opinion: 4/5
