THE ILLUSIONIST (2-24-11)

The Illusionist (2010) - ****

Director Sylvia Chomet (The Triplets of Belleville) gives us another almost dialogue-free animated masterpiece! The plot revolves around a struggling French illusionist who travels to a remote community in Scottland, where he meets a young woman who believes he can perform real magic.  The story that unfolds is gorgeously animated and extreemly touching (with a wonderful score composed by Chomet himself).  My favorite animated film of the year.
