"Collaborating with Sylvain on 'The Triplets of Belleville' was such a fantastic experience; we are so thrilled to be back partnering with him again on 'The Illusionist,' as well as our friends at Pathe, and producers Bob Last, Jake Eberts and Philippe Carcassonne. With a moving storyline and a work of art in each frame, audiences both young and old will connect with this film," stated Sony Pictures Classics.
"There could not be a better home for 'The Illusionist,' Sony Pictures Classics understands the strengths of Sylvain's work and have the passion required to take the film to the widest possible audience. I am delighted to be working with SPC again," said producer Bob Last.
Executive producer Philippe Carcassonne adds, "We're obviously thrilled to work again with the team behind so many of tomorrow's classics - which is exactly what I hope 'The Illusionist' will soon become."The Illusionist, about a magician, is itself the product of a magical collaboration. The screenplay was written by Jacques Tati, the great French mime and filmmaker, who died before he ever got a chance to film it. It's now been adapted and animated by Sylvain Chomet, the great French cartoonist who made The Triplets of Belleville. Chomet never met Tati, but the old master would almost certainly approve of how Chomet has brought his story to life.
Tati and Chomet are a perfect match, as you might have guessed if you've seen The Triplets of Belleville (which includes footage from Tati's first movie, Jour de Fete). Tati's films, despite being made well after the advent of sound, featured little dialogue, emphasizing physical humor and sight gags instead. They often had a certain melancholy about them. All of that applies to Triplets, and especially to The Illusionist, which is simultaneously one of the most enchanting and most grown-up cartoons I've ever seen.
