If you loved The Lighthouse, try The Illusionist

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama / Fantasy / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Lighthouse, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Illusionist is

Vienna, fin de siècle. Playing cards, a stage flourish. The magician Eisenheim rises to challenge an empire for the woman he loves. Dark rumors swirl around his act, and a tenacious police inspector closes in. Edwardian-era costume drama meets occult thriller.
