- Synopsis:
- 'The Magician' follows a charismatic, yet volatile hitman Ray Shoesmith (Scott Ryan) around Melbourne while he is being filmed by a friend and neighbour (Massimiliano Andrighetto). As he goes about his chilling business – threatening violence and in some cases making good on those threats – the camera continues to roll. Fuelled by offbeat conversation, dark humour and emotional crises, 'The Magician' features a tour de force central performance from writer-director-actor Scott Ryan. His character is a killer, a man who would as soon pull the trigger as not, but without smoothing out any of the rough edges the actor makes you like him when what you should be feeling is utter loathing.
