Review of The Illusionist (2006) by Shreekara B — 21 Dec 2014

The fine nostalgic of the magic and the great political drama, one investigator, a crown prince, the illusionist and the lady, very simple characters involved in framing the complex story, the plot that takes into the journey of thrills, mystery and yes into the world of magic.

This is all about 2006 ''The Illusionist" very fine period drama that form the story of the peasant child turned into illusionist, who meets his childhood friend Sophie after very long days in one of his on-stage performance, and then begins the story about the relation, politics, and the conflict of ego, this flick will be much better if known about the ''Mayerling hunting lodge'' incident that took place on 1889, to mention about the performances Edward Norton seemed to be suppressing his enormous acting skills, and apart from him Paul Gimatti (the guy who played the role of Inspector Ul) and Rufus (Leopold) both of their performances are outstanding, the symbolizing aspects in the movie and the screenplay works better, overall this magic film has the potentiality to take the viewer in one single flow.
