It was beautiful and respect he recalled

Should we believe in the virtues of random Believe the circumstances of the birth of "The illusionist", without any doubt. During the writing of his previous animated film, the highly innovative "Triplets of Belleville", Sylvain Chomet was the temptation to Tati. "There a moment in the film,"says Director-animator-Designer, where the triplets are watching television in bed." I thought that it would be funny to show these characters in animation looking film extract in the spirit of their history in which the Tower of France plays an important role. Wonderful "feast day" of Jacques Tati came me to mind because he played a factor in cycling. "In view of the first extracts of the"triplets", Sophie Tatischeff, the"daughter"of Monsieur Hulot, agrees. Best, who appreciated the work of Chomet Goldsmith, she pointed out the existence of a scenario never turned by his father, listed in the archives of the national Centre of cinematography as "Tati Film No. 4" to the young director. And it is in the train that took him to Cannes where he would defend its "triplets", in 2003, that Chomet discovered the screenplay for "The illusionist". "It was beautiful and respect, he recalled." This text was speaking to me and me conjured up images. "The illusionist" is a type of story that is not used to seeing tailored animation. It did not follow the basic rule of feature films animated since it was clearly intended for adults. He also had to find a way to make this attractive cartoon for children. It had several challenges.

It is the story of the end of a world, where rabbits out of hats without stories and where delighted children clapped cheering. But, at the time of "beatlemania", the Music Hall at the former is more recipe. Conversely, rock bands make room. Scheduled just after Billy Boy and The Britoons, rage hysteria to each of their passages, the illusionist Tatischeff plays a sparse audience. Charybdis into Scylla, it occurs to its towers on an island sorry off the coast of Scotland in a well watered village fête organised to celebrate the arrival of electricity.

There it goes, well despite his dazzle a young servant of Inn by its towers, to the point that it will overlay in baggage up to Edinburgh. Emerveillée by the illusionist, she takes his tricks for cash. Also naive and carefree, she believes in the omnipotence of the magician. His eyes shine when she discovered the luxury of the display Windows. Tatischeff, will accept the humiliating work, spending to not break the dream of a young girl.

It is not safe for children to have a large blow of cockroach by discovering the tragic and true history of "The illusionist" insofar as the scenario of Tati is one of the most desperate to be. If the taunts of "The illusionist" shake the heart, they wear the compassion. A reverie also. This fresh friendship between the old magician on the return and the ingenue dazzled by the lights of the city sent us in a world with the antiquated charm whose design renders the essence of magic way. The line from Sylvain Chomet, which evokes the high time Disney, made wonder.
