With his eye on a lovely aristocrat, a gifted illusionist named Eisenheim uses his powers to win her away from her betrothed, a crown prince. But Eisenheim's scheme creates tumult within the monarchy and ignites the suspicion of a dogged inspector.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The Illusionist is a historical fantasy/romance focused on magic, class structure, and a love triangle in turn-of-the-century Vienna. There is no indication that the setting, plot, or themes are tied to the Christmas season in any meaningful way."
