The Illusionist (2010): animation; almost continuous music tune that sticks in your head as you walk out of the theatre; minimal dialogues à la Tati, who wrote the script. The movie tells the story of a lone and modest French magician in the late 1950s relegated to meager audiences in third rate theatres. Without much hope in life, he travels to England where he continues performing in empty theatres. On a trip to a small town in Scotland he meets a poor young girl who is convinced he is a real magician. She accompanies him from then on as the daughter he never had who adopts the father she never met. His life gains meaning, though it remains difficult. Hers follows an illusion only true to her.Two notes: (1) the magician's name is Jacques Tatischeff; (2) after the last scene and before the credits the screen shows "To Sophie Taticheff".
