The Prestige
The Prestige
Set in London in the 1800s, two rival magicians read each others diary containing the secrets of their magic tricks and personal life. As we go back in time when the diaries were written, both magicians become obsessed with their rival's best trick. The tricks, as shown to the audience, look the same, but neither magician can figure out how his opponent does it.

"The Prestige" unfolds much like a magic trick, with all its elements laid bare from the start, yet it still manages to mislead us. It's a masterclass in storytelling, albeit with a few gaps, but thoroughly captivating.
