At a pub gig in Edinburgh, he meets Alice, a child housekeeper in the hotel where he resides. Touched by his generosity and believing his magic is real, Alice follows Tatischeff out into the world, hoping that being around him will rub some magic into her own life. Finding it increasingly hard to make ends meet in a world that has little time for his skills, the old illusionist does what he can to show his young charge the magic she so desperately needs.
While Tatischeff's story inevitably slides into its downward slope, Chomet is smart enough to lighten the sombre mood with unexpected humour. Certainly Tatischeff's rabbit is good for some mayhem, while a never-ending cast of acrobats, ventriloquists and other music hall performers offer left-field laughs and their own touching moments.
Visually, this film is stunning: the backgrounds are nothing less than spectacular and the character designs are distinctive and witty. One scene where a drunk Tatischeff tries to stumble upstairs is brilliantly handled. However, Chomet outsmarts himself in one sequence, where a visual effect backfires: it looks gorgeous but it pulls the audience out of the story instead of immersing them further.
In what seems like a match made in heaven, Sylvain Chometthe writer/director of the whimsically Oscar-nominated The Triplets of Bellevilleteamed up with the timeless French funnyman and filmmaker Jacques Tati for the new animated feature The Illusionist. (Given that Tati died in 1982, said match was in all likelihood negotiated within the pearly gates). Sony Picture Classics bore witness to the magic of Illusionist after its Berlin Film Festival world premiere and acquired the North American distribution rights, targeting an end of the year release: your move, Oscar.
