The illusionist
Film cycle - Festival Musiq'3: Along the Danube
An unusual tale set in Franz-Joseph’s Vienna, inspired by a short story from Steven Millhauser. Illusion reigns and magic relentlessly catches the viewer off-guard in this film replete with references to the early on-screen magicians (Melies, Robert-Houdin). The attraction of illusion makes this brilliant and curious film shine.
