The Four Horsemen, a magic super-group led by the charismatic Michael Atlas, perform a pair of high-tech magic shows, first astonishing audiences by robbing a bank on another continent, and then exposing a white-collar criminal and funneling his millions into the audience members' bank accounts.
FBI Special Agent Dylan Hobbs is determined to make the magicians pay for their crimes-and to stop them before they pull off what promises to be an even more audacious heist. But he's forced to partner with Alma Vargas, an Interpol detective about whom he is instantly suspicious. Out of desperation he turns to Thaddeus Bradley, a famed magic debunker, who claims the bank heist was accomplished using disguises and video trickery. One thing Dylan and Alma agree on is that the Horsemen must have an outside point person, and that finding him (or her) is key to ending the magicians' crime spree. Could it be Thaddeus? Or Alma? Or could it really be...magic?
As pressure mounts and the world awaits the Horsemen's spectacular final trick, Dylan and Alma race to find an answer. But it soon becomes painfully clear that staying one step ahead of these masters of illusion is beyond the skills of any one man-or woman...

"Well, you don’t love life itself. You love places, animals, people, memories, food, literature, music. And sometimes you meet someone...who requires all the love you have to give. And if you lose that someone, you think everything else is going to stop too. But everything else just keeps on going."
Aged American philosophy professor lives a lonely and self-contained life in Paris. Immersed in a deep reverie, he lost that something that he was searching for all his life - the meaning. Surrounded by memories, menacing to turn into hallucinations, he is inevitably moving towards the chasm: struggling against the absurd is even more difficult when you are alone. It seems that everything around is nothing but the decor: that’s how uninteresting the world became to him.
It seems that all that was important stayed in the past. And so it was, until one day he met someone on the bus, and this encounter changed everything.
Magnificent Michal Caine created a little delightful masterpiece on screen that makes you want to watch it again straight after walking out of the theatre.
"Mr. Morgan’s Last Love" - is a certain answer to gloomy "Love" by Michael Haneke.
This touching, heartfelt, beautiful story, filled with light sadness in pale shades, could have been shot only by a woman. The film is not about how one needs to live a life - it’s about the need of living it. And making it bright and saturated, making sure each moment is appreciated.
Fine and elegant reflection on loneliness, forgiveness and love, that give its spectator hope.
THIRD PERSON tells three stories of love, passion, trust and betrayal, in a multi-strand story line reminiscent of Paul Haggis's earlier Oscar-winning film Crash. The tales play out in New York, Paris and Rome: three couples who appear to have nothing related but share deep commonalities: lovers and estranged spouses, children lost and found.
The Rome-set segment revolves around a young couple on a road trip, to be played be Casey Affleck and Moran Atias. Both Liam Neeson and Olivia Wilde will play writers in the Paris-set section of the film. Mila Kunis is negotiating to play one half of an estranged couple in New York, with James Franco playing her partner in the segment.
Gradually, each one of these stories unveils its secrets, testifying to the whims and complexities of life. Surfaces are deceptive in the Haggis universe, but as each story is explored we discover untold pleasures and pains. Life is never easy: it can be deceptive, inhabited by anger and jealousy, but it can also be surprisingly joyous.
Inspired by the true story of Danish artists Lili Elbe and her wife Gerda, this tender portrait of a marriage asks: What do you do when someone you love wants to change?
The film follows two days in the relationship of a New York based couple; a French photographer Marion and American interior designer Jack-as they attempt to re-infuse their relationship with romance by taking a vacation in Europe. Their trip to Venice didn't really work out,--they both came down with gastroenteritis. They have higher hopes for Paris. But the combination of Marion's overbearing non-English speaking parents', flirtatious ex-boyfriends', and Jack's obsession with photographing every famous Parisian tombstone and conviction that French condoms are too small, only adds fuel to the fire. Will they be able to salvage their relationship? Will they ever have sex again? Or will they merely manage to perfect the art of arguing?

The events that overwhelm a middle-aged, seemingly happily married couple. The arrogant, bourgeois M. Hervey descends from a train into the teeming bustle of the city. While on his way home, he reflects on the sturdiness of his life: the success he has made of it, and the fortress of security he has built around himself. It is not long before his self-satisfaction is rudely shattered when he discovers a letter from his wife, Gabrielle, waiting for him on his sideboard. The contents of the message will crumble that security and plunge him into newfound feelings of vulnerability, abandonment and betrayal. Husband and wife find themselves engaged in a parry-and-thrust of emotions that change mid-sentence and stretch their ability to function and live in the same house.
