    Poignant, for sure. Something that was probably lacking in Tati's movies.
    Not at all. Well, not to those who refuse to partake in the koolaid Spinal is consuming.

    Yeah, Tati's films are brimming with poignancy. You can question whether they're funny or not, but not that.

    This is good, but also too damn bittersweet with a strong emphasis on bitter.

    Reading the thread, I just learned that the girl is supposed to be a daughter. Somehow, that makes it less sad.

    The first half is a really wonderful film with and underlying sense of depression and sadness. The second half is a goddamn sucker punch to the gut. Even though Triplets of Bellville is more entertaining and delightful, The Illusionist has a strong emotional core that makes it the better of the two.
