ILLUSIONS PERDUES
XAVIER GIANNOLI Frankreich, 2021
Winner of 7 César awards including Best Film, Xavier Giannoli’s lush adaptation of Balzac’s masterpiece smolders with the sins and pleasures of 19th-century Paris. Led by a dazzling Benjamin Voisin, this lavish parable of literary fame and moral decay elegantly mirrors our own era of misinformation.
