Portraits d’Alain Cavalier. L’Illusionniste

Alain Cavalier
1992 France 13 minutes French

A sprightly elderly lady, who became an illusionist out of love, talks about her trade and performs a few magic tricks with grace and humour. Continuing the series of portraits made in 1987 and 1988, Alain Cavalier films, with tenderness and complicity, Parisian women employed in jobs that are on the verge of obsolescence.
