The Prestige
Starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, David Bowie and Andy Serkis, this one was directed by Christopher Nolan. It’s an essential Christopher Nolan film that highlights his overall storytelling philosophy. It has the same theme that you see in all of the Christopher Nolan films. The Prestige is also among his best movies till date. The film is set in the late 19th century, wherein Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman are magicians who approach their craft very differently from each other. So when Bale’s character comes up with an almost impossible trick, Hugh Jackman’s goes crazy trying to find how it works. It’s a story that has plenty of devotion and obsession, as well as a non-linear structure, making it a must watch for everyone!
