The Illusionist (animated movie) 2010





The latest beautiful, and beautifully animated film by Sylvain Chomet, is a bit slower and more gentle than his previous feature film, the playful, The Triplets of Belleville but I'd say it's just as good. Its a thoroughly enchanting film with delicate characters and a simple philosophy: the power of compassion lies in the minutiae of everyday kindnesses, everyday sacrifices. It sweetly highlights the nobility of selflessness and how the quiet efforts to improve the lives of others, are in fact, at the very heart of love. (You don't need to be high to see this movie, or drunk... or in love. :)

9/10
