this week on 100 Films

2 new reviews again on 100 Films in a Year this week, and they were...

Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone. (2007/2009)
You Are (Not) Alone works satisfyingly as a film. Arguably it has a slightly unusual narrative structure or slightly unsophisticated animation, but it works much better than you’d expect from six TV episodes stuck together.

The Illusionist (2006)
The story itself — you remember those? It’s the bit between the attention-grabbing opening and preposterous-twist finale — is mediocre. It’s a something-and-nothing account of a Poor Boy who loves a Rich Girl he can’t have and… oh, I can’t even be bothered to explain it.

More next Sunday.
