...after voting Memento my favourite DVD watched last year it is fitting that the first film seen at the cinema is the same directors latest film The Prestige. You know the way Memento plays with your head and you don't know who to trust and its all ever so confusing... well this film is the same. I really really enjoyed it, but not sure I understood everything that was going on, and I also think this was intentional. This is a film about illusions and above all magic - the veiwer is supposed to feel "tricked".
The suprisingly full showing (despite having a new 7 screen cinema in Exeter the Picturehouse still sold every last seat for this film!) seemed to enjoy it, and there were many animated discussions in the toilets and the lobby afterwards - always the sign of a good film!
