The Illusionist
Dir. Sylvain Chomet France 2010 80’ (PG)
Digital video | No dialogue
A French illusionist travels to Scotland to work. He meets a young woman in a small village — and their ensuing adventure in Edinburgh changes both their lives forever. A fantastic animated homage to Edinburgh by Sylvain Chomet (Belleville Rendezvous) based on an unproduced script by legendary filmmaker Jacques Tati, The Illusionist is often cited as one of the most visually breathtaking animated films of the 21st century.
