"Simon the Magician"

In this clever, contemporary spin on the story of Simon Magus, history's first Gnostic, a celebrated magician believed to have superior mental powers is called to Paris to help the police solve a murder. While there, he falls in love with a beautiful young girl and is challenged to a Houdini-styled escape stunt by a rival magician. A sensuous and stirring film from the director of My Twentieth Century. French and Hungarian with English subtitles.  100 minutes.
