The Prestige (2006)
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson
Director: Christopher Nolan
Country: USA
Genre: Mystery
Nolan will forever go down as one of the most infamous directors of the 2000s, as he’s brought us such films as Memento, Batman Begins, and The Dark Knight. And while his Batman saga is a benchmark that most directors and studios will strive to achieve, his in between projects are just as dark and entertaining. The Prestige weaves together a dark fantasy tale of obsession between two rival magicians striving to outdo each other, and it’s told with such intrigue that it’s hard not to get caught up in its mysticism. It came out around the same time as The Illusionist, which unfortunately had a negative effect on both films, but this is one of Nolan’s better tricks that surely isn’t to be missed.
