The Prestige, 2006
Christopher Nolan has always been a connoisseur of secrets and complicated storytelling, and his 2006 film “The Prestige” – which is actually about magicians – this is quite evident. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale star as dueling magicians in 1890s London, with Jackson’s character becoming obsessed with an apparently impossible performance that Bale’s character is creating. This is a film about the lengths to which people will go for their work, as well as the sacrifices they make in the process. It’s one of Nolan’s most accomplished films.
