Rio Cinema introduction to this special screening with IGN UK Podcast:
If you've listened to any of the IGN UK podcast in the last two years you will have witnessed us accidentally become the world's best podcast all about The Prestige. We love the film and want to celebrate that by watching it with YOU awesome people. So come experience a screening of The Prestige and then stick around for a live IGN UK podcast. Of course, if you'd like to just come for the screening that is absolutely fine too. We'll also be heading to The Loading Bar in Dalston afterwards for some drinks/knot tying discussions.
Chicago Reader review:
The premise of this Victorian drama—a London theatrical magician (Hugh Jackman) tries to fend off a more cunning rival (Christian Bale)—weirdly parallels the predicament of director Christopher Nolan, whose movie opened in the long shadow of Neil Burger's The Illusionist. That movie also centers on a 19th-century magician, and the elegant contours of its story are even more impressive compared with Nolan's clutter of double and triple crosses. A substantial subplot here involves Jackman developing a secret project with pioneering electrical engineer Nikola Tesla (a delectably arch David Bowie); it doesn't really add anything, but Tesla's high-voltage coils throw off a lot more lightning than Scarlett Johansson as Jackman's sultry stage assistant. With Michael Caine, Piper Perabo, and Rebecca Hall.
