"The sound of scandal is in the air." Music Box Films has revealed the official US trailer for a compelling French period comedy drama titled Lost Illusions, originally known as Illusions Perdues in French. This was a big premiere at last year's Venice Film Festival, playing in the main competition, and it's a fascinating film about the early days of "journalism" in France - at a time when it was common to accept bribes to write rave reviews (or not). Lucien de Rubempré, a young, lower-class unknown poet, leaves his family's printing house for Paris. Soon, he learns the dark side of the arts business as he tries to stay true to his dreams. It's also described as: "Xavier Giannoli’s sumptuous adaptation of Honoré de Balzac's epic novel, Lost Illusions is a ravishing vision of the birth of modern media." A decadent tale of delight and madness as it explores how unscrupulous journalism used to be still is. Starring Benjamin Voisin, with an appearance by fellow filmmaker Xavier Dolan, as well as Cécile de France, Vincent Lacoste, Salomé Dewaels, Jeanne Balibar, André Marcon, & Gérard Depardieu. A ravishing film about a wild time in France in the past. ›››
