L’Illusionniste / The Illusionist
Director: Sylvain Chomet
2010 – 1hr 20min

At the end of the 50’s, the music-hall is experiencing a revolution. The phenomenal success of Rock has young people attracting large crowds, whilst the traditional players – acrobats, jugglers, ventriloquists – are considered out of fashion. Our protagonist, the illusionist, establishes that he now belongs to a group of fading artists. Contract offers are becoming more and rarer, and so he decides to leave the big Parisian halls with his doves and his rabbit, and he tries his luck in London. But the situation is the same there. He resigns himself to working in small theatres, garden parties, cafes, and then in the pub of a village on the west coast of Scotland, where he meets Alice, a young innocent girl who is going to change his life forever.
