About this product

Product Information

In 1900 Vienna, a magician named Eisenheim the Illusionist is mystifying audiences with a remarkable magic act that is seemingly too good to believe. Chief Inspector Uhl, who is in the pocket of Crown Prince Leopold--and considers himself somewhat of an amateur conjurer--becomes obsessed with Eisenheim; Uhl is not only desperate to find out the secrets behind Eisenheim's tricks but also worried that the master magician might pose a threat to the crown prince's nefarious plans. In addition, Eisenheim is quickly growing close to Duchess Sophie von Teschen, his childhood love, who is engaged to Leopold. As Eisenheim's act becomes even more amazing--including apparently raising the spirits of the dead--he enrages the crown prince even further, leading to deception and murder. Edward Norton (FIGHT CLUB), who studied magic with Ricky Jay (THE SPANISH PRISONER) in preparing for the role, is terrific as Eisenheim, an enigmatic showman hiding a dark side. The excellent supporting cast features fine performances by Rufus Sewell (A KNIGHT'S TALE) as the evil, conniving Leopold; Jessica Biel (7TH HEAVEN) as the beautiful Sophie; and Paul Giamatti (SIDEWAYS) as the perceptive but bumbling Uhl. Written and directed by Neil Burger (INTERVIEW WITH THE ASSASSIN), THE ILLUSIONIST, which is based on a short story by Pulitzer Prizewinner Steven Millhauser, is a complex tale filled with mystery and awe. The compelling score was composed by minimalist musician Philip Glass and conducted by Michael Reisman.

  • The Real Acadamy Award Winner

    The Academy Awards were wrong as usual, the 2006 award for best picture should have been The Illusionist. This is a movie you want to see over an over. Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti as well as Jessica Biel and Rufus Sewell were overlooked for awards. But, what can you expect from those who brought us such movies as Reefer Madness, Glen or Glenda, Catwoman, The Garbage Pail Kids, and The Birth of the Nation.

  • The Illusionist

    Excellent movie, I’ve watched it several times. Glad I bought both standard and blu-ray so I can watch blu-ray in the living room or take it and watch it upstairs in the bedroom. I’ve always admired Edward Norton & Jessica Biel. Their acting in this movie is fantastic.

  • Good movie but not great

    it is not a 2-disc set, it's only one single disc. There is no menu on the blu-ray, the movie starts automaticly. It was a good buy for the price.
