The Illusionist This film was stunning in many aspects. Visually in terms of locations,inside and out. There was a great consistency and nothing seemed strained. The story weaved fluidly through these locations and seemed to invite everyone into it's story. Edward Norton (Harr Eisenheim) was an amazing actor who created illusions as if he was born to. Paul Giamatti (The Inspector) was also amazing as he realised what had happened... So, I guess that overall this film deserves five film stars or at least a bar of chocolate!
