Abstract
The Prestige is a film that will generate strong reactions for different reasons: some
cinemagoers will find it, as I did, one of the most fascinating, exhilarating and
compelling films of the year; others may find its dialogue-heavy, convoluted narrative
too much to cope with on first viewing. The Prestige is indeed a challenging and
thought-provoking film, but this, to me, is one of its primary assets, and is the mark of
a sophisticated and intelligent piece of art. With the holiday season and its peppering of by-the-numbers, yawn-inducing blockbusters just around the corner, The Prestige is that most beautiful of contrasts: a stunningly well-conceived film that reminds us of the great power of storytelling itself.
