On may 5th will be released the illu­sion­ist an ani­mated movie from Syl­vain Chomet (les triplettes de Belleville).
“The plot revolves around a strug­gling illu­sion­ist who vis­its an iso­lated com­mu­nity and meets a young lady who is con­vinced that he is a real magi­cian. The film is set in Scot­land in the late 1950s. Accord­ing to the direc­tor, “It’s not a romance, it’s more the rela­tion­ship between a dad and a daugh­ter.”” The story is based on an unpro­duced Jacques Tati’s script.

Here’s an inter­view with the author (unfor­tu­nately for you it’s in french), you’ll also see some scenes from the movie. It looks gor­geous and i def­i­nitely look for­ward to see it.
