Hallo,


geile Schauspieler im Film, davon nichts gelesen, bis gerade eben:

Trailer: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rfc1Mk3srkw

In Wien um die Jahrhundertwende trifft der gefeierte Bühnenmagier und
Illusionist Eisenheim (Edward Norton) seine damalige Jugendliebe Sophie (Jessica Biel) wieder, von der er allein durch Klassenunterschiede getrennt war. Noch immer in sie verliebt, beschließt er, inzwischen selbst ein bedeutender Mann, sie zurück zu gewinnen, doch sie inzwischen mit einem Mitglied des österreichischen Königshauses verlobt, Kronprinz Leopold (Rufus Sewell). Der ist über Eisenheims Avancen gar nicht erfreut, beschämt es ihn doch schon genug, daß er die Tricks des Magiers nicht sofort durchschauen kann. Also hetzt er den Polizeiinspektor Uhl (Paul Giamatti) auf den Künstler, doch der verfolgt seinen ganz eigenen Plan...

hallo,
netter film, tolle männliche leads. und natürlich Österreich-bonus


ein review das IMHO alles sagt, vorsicht milde spoiler




Although I spotted the inevitable conclusion coming about half way through the film, it is a testament to the film that I was still engaged enough to see how all of the pieces in the story would fall into place. 'The Illusionist' is a fairly decent example of a script that sets up a certain number of expectations and then toys with the outcomes before knocking them all down like dominoes.

There are three main reasons to watch 'The Illusionist.' The first reason is that the script isn't too bad. I was with a group of friends. Two of us guessed correctly how the film was going to develop. The other five were quite surprised by the film's ending. None of us were disappointed and the film got an ovation from the audience when it was over. I would describe 'The Illusionist' as a mystery or a puzzle. If you like films that make the grey matter between your ears do a little work, you might just find yourself pleasantly surprised -- that said, there isn't anything so taxing here as to make the film overly complex or convoluted.

The second reason to watch this film is the involvement of Ricky Jay. He's in the credits for consultation and as one of the best magicians working today in Hollywood, it is worth your time to take a look at the film to see some of his influence. I'll be interested when this comes out on DVD to find out the degree of involvement. If the producers were smart, they probably listened a lot to a man who is in the Guiness book of World Records for his use of playing cards as weapons! My third reason to recommend 'The Illusionist' is some excellent work from the three main male leads: Paul Giamatti, Ed Norton and Rufus Sewell. As a qualifier, let me add that Jessica Biel does a pretty good job too -- I just found that the energy and zeal with which her male counterparts performed ate up the screen and left her adrift. There's a little joke in there you might find funny after you've watched the film. Ed Norton is very controlled and restrained here, Rufus Sewell seems to relish every scene he's in with villainous delight and Paul Giamatti shines as the police inspector with a taste for amateur magic. Giamatti has a gift for facial expressions and, as a friend of mine hilariously put it, in his final scene his facial expression is 'six degrees of crazy.' I love that! These are three compelling performances and although you might see your way through the contrivances of the script, the good performances should be more than enough to keep you entertained.

'The Illusionist' isn't bad. A good little mystery with some nice acting all around.
