The prestige


Seen on the 6th February 2010 (130 min)

A very interesting film about the relationship between two magicians at the end of 19th century London. A truly magical film about love, hate, friendship, professional pride but above all deception. After tragically loosing one of the helpers during a magic performance, Algier (Mr. Danton) becomes obsessed with finding out whether his friend and love rival Bolder did things wrong during the performance. This tragic accident led to the development of mutual admiration and hate that escalated to unimaginable consequences. Throughout the years they both became irrationally attracted by each other increasingly complex magic tricks. However, as the old adage goes, both had the last ace hidden in the sleeve. A remarkably interesting film.
