Review of The Illusionist (2009) by Brad G — 14 May 2011
A sad cartoon. Beautiful, sure. But sad. And it left me feeling just sad. Not enriched, not thoughtful. Just sad. I thoroughly enjoyed Chomet's last film The Triplets of Bellville which was just a joy of animation, but this story of a fading Illusionist and his girl hanger-on left me utterly cold.
Suicidal clowns. Drunk ventriloquists. Wheelchair bound dogs. Thanks France. VF.
