The Illusionist
Director: Neil Burger
Cast: Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, Jessica Biel, Rufus Sewell
Plot outline: A skilled magician who calls himself Eisenheim falls in love with a woman above his class, and he uses his abilities so that they can be together.
This is a lot like "A beautiful mind" or the "Saw"-movies in that nothing is the way you think it is, and everything is revealed at the end. Smart, unpredictable and with a tension that is maintained throughout the story, this is another favourite of mine. Norton is great as the quiet and mysterious Eisenheim, and the chemistry between the different characters manages to keep the viewer's interest up even through the many quiet moments. Music is an effect used sparsely, which only enhances the importance of thise moments. I can recommend it warmly.
