Aprés Mon Oncle C'est..


"The Illusionist" is a story about two paths that cross. An outdated, aging magician, forced to wander from country to country, city to city and station to station in search of a stage to perform his act meets a young girl at the start of her life?s journey. Alice is a teenage girl with all her capacity for childish wonder still intact. She plays at being a woman without realizing the day to stop pretending is fast approaching. She doesn't know yet that she loves The Illusionist like she would a father; he already knows that he loves her as he would a daughter. Their destinies will collide, but nothing -- not even magic or the power of illusion -- can stop the voyage of discovery.

Fantastique. Just been to see this tonight; it made me laugh & cry, and the care taken with taticheff was moving. For those of us who long for more Tati, this is the closest we can have. They have nailed his movement, nods and that handshake & nod of the head. Superb.

Anyone fancy Top Trumps?
