The Prestige
January 20th 2011 22:22
(2006) Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, David Bowie, Andy Serkis. Dir: Christopher Nolan.
After a trick goes fatally wrong, two magicians begin an obsessive rivalry and test each other’s commitment to their art. A moody, multi-layered mystery where nothing is at seems. Elegantly staged, perfectly acted, and almost constantly unexpected, especially the dark conclusion. This is a dense but very rewarding fantasy.
