	THE ILLUSIONIST - OFFICIAL MOVIE SITE
		The Illusionist casts an exquisitely bewitching spell with its dreamy atmosphere and pervasive sense of suspense.Writer/director Neil Burger has fashioned a beautifully shot mystery, with precise and elegant attention to period detail, which heightens the sense of intrigue in this romantic thriller.
		Ed Norton casts an intoxicating spell as a Victorian-era illusionist in this thriller that is as moving-and sexy- as it is suspenseful.
		Still, as good as it is, The Illusionist is more than a love story for the same reason that it never feels quaint: because threading through the melodrama is a moral fable about power and deception, a timeless subject that couldn’t feel more timely today.

		Adventures: Illusionists are among the rarer of the common classes, due in no small part to others' insistence that illusionists are not fit for adventuring.
		Illusionists are also somewhat inherently curious, though not to the near spiritual level of bards.
		It is a rare illusionist indeed that does not see something of an artist in himself, and experiencing new wonders translates into new frontiers of illusion, too.

		One of the chief draws of the illusionist is their level advancement table: much, much faster than the poor magic-user at high levels.
		Where an illusionist is at a distinct disadvantage is against powerful creatures such as dragons, leaving why a party is going up against a dragon aside for a minute.
		Where an illusionist does come into their own is against humans/demi humans and humanoids where there powers have the most chance of succeeding.

		The Illusionist press conference was held July 29th at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills with EN and Biel present.
		To be fair, I had never seen it mentioned anywhere that he definitely would be attending (last evening, I was going through the coverage on the Salt Lake Tribune website I found that his name conspicously absent among the list of celebs confirmed to be promoting their films).
		But the fact that he is not currently in the middle of filming and that the The Illusionist has been receiving a lot buzz and looking for a buyer made me think that it was all but certain he would be there.

	reviewjournal.com -- Neon - MOVIE REVIEW: 'The Illusionist'
		Based on a short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Steven Millhauser, "The Illusionist" deploys its interlocking triangles (Eisenheim-Sophie-Leopold) and (Eisenheim-Uhl-Leopold) in the manner of a seasoned vaudeville performer, engaging in the same sort of sleight-of-hand Eisenheim employs to keep his audiences off-balance.
		Thus, "The Illusionist" seems to address weighty topics even as it delights in the splendor of its period setting (with Prague inevitably standing in for Vienna), the richness of its costumes and production design, the scintillating subtlety of Philip Glass' musical score.
		But "The Illusionist's" real show consists of the showdown between Norton and Giamatti, both of whom make themselves at home in roles that, at first glance, seem an uncomfortable fit.

		At the very outset of the film, a man in his shirtsleeves walks onto a stage that is empty except for a single chair.
		Then the inspector strides onto it himself to confront the crowd and to arrest the illusionist for charlatanism and threats against the empire.
		On one occasion, Paul Giamatti's inspector gets the illusionist to explain a trick so clearly that I suspect lots of audience members will be attempting it themselves on the way out of the theater.

		The Illusionist is a story of magic and deception played out in fin de siècle Vienna.
		The opening cue, "The Illusionist" announces this intention early on with the orchestra solemnly intoning full chords on almost every beat; no churning rhythms, no repetitions, no metric shifts, just simple chords presented in strict time.
		In The Illusionist, Glass gets the period right, transforming his late 20th century style into something evoking the early century, but misses the film's tone.

		When The Illusionist was first described to me last night before going out on my double date, it was described as a movie about magicians and their lives.
		The illusionist is always trying to show that the crown prince, isn't quite as great of a man as everyone believes him to be.
		Probably the major plot point of the movie revolves around the romance between the Duchess and the Illusionist, however, this is barely developed, you know that it is always there and is the main purpose behind all of the events, but it is only lightly touched on.

		You be the judge in Neil Burger's elegant adaptation of Pulitzer Prize-winner Steven Millhauser's story "Eisenheim the Illusionist," a romantic period-piece mystery starring Edward Norton as a master prestidigitator and Jessica Biel as his lost-and-found aristocratic lover.
		Giamatti also serves as narrator for this battle of wits between himself and the enigmatic illusionist -- a Hapsburg Houdini with a touch of Penn and Teller.
		In addition to fine performances, "The Illusionist" boasts period-accurate "real" magic tricks performed live, without the aid of 21st-century special F/X. An orange tree blossoming out of a seed is quite lovely, and butterflies returning a handkerchief to its owner in the audience is even lovelier.

		Sitting in the theatre watching this film, you might wish you yourself were an illusionist, so that you could make yourself disappear.
		The story (based on the short-story Eisenheim the Illusionist by Steven Millhauser) centres on a magician (Norton) in turn-of-the-century Vienna who is more popular with the public than with Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell).
		The costumes and settings in The Illusionist are well-done, creating a solid sense of the time period, with one glaring exception—the facial hair on the men.

		The Illusionist is an engrossing, well-crafted story of mystery, magic and intrigue that is certain to enchant, if not hypnotize, audiences.
		In a world where nothing is as it appears, an illusionist and a police inspector face off in a challenge of wills that attempts to determine where reality ends and magic begins...all the while blurring the line between power and corruption, love and devotion, vigilance and mania and ultimately, life and death.
		The Illusionist is like a dreamscape existing between sleep and consciousness, the old world and the new.

		Sleight of hand, mirrors where reality isn't always reflected and an orange tree growing and budding before the audience's very eyes are the sorts of tricks he has up his sleeve.
		One awkward part is when the "The Illusionist" replays one of these initial scenes near the end of the film.
		With strong acting and an intriguing story, “The Illusionist” does exactly as any good magician would do by not revealing its tricks before the time is precisely right.

		While "Illusionist" may be gorgeous and romantic and all that lovey-dovey stuff, it rarely amazes.
		He is Chief Inspector Uhl, a ladder-climbing law enforcer ordered by Leopold to investigate Eisenheim, no matter that Uhl kinda has a man-crush on the magician.

	Variety.com - Award Central 2007 - The Illusionist
		Adapted from a short story by Steven Millhauser (winner of the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for his novel "Martin Dressler: The Tale of an American Dreamer"), the yarn centers on a stage magician whose powers are so extraordinary they eventually threaten to subvert the power structure of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
		A brief prologue shows the celebrated illusionist Eisenheim (Edward Norton) being arrested by Vienna police on stage before an outraged audience, as Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell) inquires if there isn't some charge that can be pinned on him.
		He becomes such a people's hero that he is suspected of fomenting a "spiritual republic," and so bedevils Leopold that the latter assumes a disguise to attend a performance.

		Certain that the illusionist is nothing more than an accomplished fraud, Leopold attends one of Eisenheim’s shows, convinced that he can debunk him during the performance.
		Eisenheim the Illusionist’s performances call into question everything the audience (and ultimately, moviegoers) take for granted—his illusions challenge the laws of nature and the universe.
		The magic in The Illusionist is not about ‘How does he do it?, but rather about the uncanny sense that nothing is what it seems.

	Cinema Eye: The Illusionist
		Based on the short story of the same title by Steven Millhauser and co-written by him and director Neil Berger, THE ILLUSIONIST is actually a love story that evolves into a cat-and-mouse chase between Chief Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti) and illusionist Eisenheim (Edward Norton) of the film’s title.
		It all begins with the love affair between the illusionist and Sophie (Jessica Biel), the romance disallowed as the pair derives from different social classes.
		THE ILLUSIONIST assumes that the majority of the audience is keenly interested in the art of illusions but for those who are not, sitting through THE ILLUSIONIST may result in even more of a chore.

		Swankly produced and hopelessly corny, ``Illusionist" is like an overupholstered wing chair in the corner of a men's club -- you settle in only to be startled by how ridiculously comfy you are.
		Norton is Eisenheim, the illusionist -- a man of magnetic and mournful gravitas -- and the woman, the Du chess Sophie von Teschen (Jessica Biel), his beloved.
		After Eisenheim is reunited with Sophie and the depth of their passion revealed to the sadistic crown prince in a dangerous battle of wits at a palace command performance, Uhl is instructed to consider the illusionist public threat number one.
