Aro Favourite Prestige, The

 

USA 2006, 128 minutes
Dir. Christopher Nolan
Genres: Suspense/Crime / Fantasy

Topics: Period - 1800s.

 

Aroview: Another astounding feat of storytelling from the dir. of MEMENTO that spins a constantly intriguing yarn of two rival magicians who engage in a dangerous game of one-upmanship in Victorian London.

Cannily structured like a complex three-act magic trick ('the pledge', 'the turn', and 'the prestige') that's sustained with expert craft and elegant showmanship, the setting also conveys a thrilling sense of discovery and nostalgia. The prestige cast also work wonders, most suprisingly David Bowie as enigmatic inventor, Nikolas Tesla.
