"Les Illusions Perdues/Lost Illusions" is a sumptuous adaptation of Honoré de Balzac’s epic tale of a young provincial poet’s introduction to 19th-century Paris, where everything is bought and sold: literature as well as the press, politics as well as feelings, reputations as well as souls. (Xavier Giannoli, France, 2021)
