Can i be blamed for not wanting to wait...being the obsessive compulsive that i am? So i got a copy. Hungry for more or those divine images from the people who brought us The Triplets of Belleville....and fan of Jacques Tati.
A script for THE ILLUSIONIST was originally written by French comedy genius and cinema legend Jacques Tati as a love letter from a father to his daughter, but never produced. Sylvain Chomet, the Oscar-nominated and critically acclaimed creator of The Triplets of Belleville, adapted the script and brought it to life in his distinctive handdrawn animated style.
Its an interesting character piece. And really more an homage to Tati than a deliberate piece of entertainment. A `B` side perhaps to the academy nominated Triplets...but beautiful non the less - and already nominated for an Oscar.
Stylistically it took me back to the original 101 Dalmations animation...
I am still waiting though...for the follow up to Triplets.
