Review of The Illusionist (2009) by Jeff H — 25 Jul 2011
Jacques Tati never got to film his screenplay for "The Illusionist", a love letter to his daughter, but rescued from the archives by Sylvain Chomet, the final dream of Monsieur Hulot comes alive in animated form.
Mostly done silent and in pantomine (as much of Tati expressed himself), Chomet and his crew really capture feelings and subtleties in their animation that many other studios fail to do, relying on voice actors heavily.
If you're into silent film, Tati, and something a bit more imaginative to run away to, here it is.
