Vienna, 1990: Eisenheim (Norton) is a brilliant stage magician, the greatest illusionist Vienna has ever seen. When his childhood friendship with Duchess Sophie von Teschen (Beil), now betrothed to the power-hungry Crown Prince Leopold (Sewell), is rekindled he finds himself a target for the Prince's anger. As the Clandestine romance continues, Leopold orders the shrewd Chief Inspector Uhl (Giamatti), the head of the secret police, to close down the theatre and make Eisenheim vanish. But as the net tightens around him and tragedy, Eisenheim prepares to execute his greatest illusion yet. © 2005 Illusionist Distribution, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Hodnotenia a recenzie

This film is beautiful to look at. Compelling story. Edward Norton is brilliant but I am always won over by Paul Giamatti. Like him, we see the story from the outside and wonder how the magic tricks are done. Not an earth shattering twist at the end but nevertheless the best twist for this movie. At its heart it is a love story.

Shows how we never notice what is infront of us good film keeps you interested

Really interesting, fun and good to watch. Well worth it.
