Based on an unrealised screenplay by Tati,
The Illusionist tells the tale of an
itinerant magician who drifts from one music hall to another without much
success. His wanderings eventually landed him in Scotland where he finds a
devoted fan in a young girl who genuinely believes that he possesses
supernatural powers. The odd couple then embark on a road trip which changes
their life forever.
Conceived to be realised in live action,
Tati’s daughter Sophie Tatischeff made an astute decision to hand the script
over to Sylvain Chomet, who made the acclaimed animated feature, The Triplets of Belleville (2003).
Tati’s posthumous material and Chomet’s distinctive visuals complemented each
other bringing new insight to Tati’s oeuvre of seminal films.As part of PLAYTIME: The Complete Works of Jacques Tatihappening from 20 May to 4 June 2017Photo Courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics.Updatestag:peatix.com,2017-05-12 06:33:442017-05-12 06:33:44The event description was updated.
