) and Canada’s Xavier Dolan. They will be flanked by André Marcon, Jean-François Stévenin and Louis-Do de Lencquesaing.

The plot unfolds between 1837 and 1843 and revolves around Lucien de Rubempré, a young poet who dreams of becoming an author, and who ups sticks and leaves Angoulême for the bright lights of Paris. For many years, Xavier Giannoli had talked about his wish to adapt Lost Illusions. “It’s a novel about innocence in tatters,” he stated during a symposium devoted to Balzac. “I’m fascinated by the idea that, within us, we have something that is linked to purity and corrupted innocence. What of ourselves and of our purity are we willing to relinquish in order to find our place in life? It’s a topic I’m very passionate about.”

Produced by Olivier Delbosc for Curiosa Films (which is thus teaming up with the director for the third feature in a row, following The Apparition [+lee también:

and Marguerite) and by Sidonie Dumas for Gaumont (which will oversee the French distribution as well as the international sales), Lost Illusions can boast a co-production and a pre-purchase by France 3 Cinéma. Having also been pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+, the film has secured support from the Ile-de-France and Hauts-de-France regions.
