Lucien, a na\u00efve young poet from the provinces, falls in love with his patroness and follows her to Paris, only to be plunged into the venomous world of aristocratic societal codes and a cesspool of corrupt journalistic standards. Here, it seems, everything can be bought and sold \u2014 art, politics, reputations, ethics, ideals\u2026 and especially literary reviews! Leaping from the frying pan into the fire, our ambitious young hero leads us into a delicious whirlwind of treachery and rivalry, defeat and redemption. Set in 1821 and far from a stuffy period picture,\u00a0<strong>Lost Illusions<\/strong>\u00a0is a wildly entertaining ride with many a parallel to our own modern times.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicboxfilms.com\/film\/lost-illusions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOST ILLUSIONS\u00a0 | 2022 \u2013 150&#8242; \u2013\u00a0\u00a0Drama, Epic, Romance Written by\u00a0Xavier Giannoli, Jacques Fieschi Based on Honore de Balzac&#8217;s novel Directed by Xavier Giannoli Starring\u00a0Benjamin Voisin, C\u00e9cile de France,\u00a0Vincent Lacoste, Xavier Dolan, Jeanne Balibar, G\u00e9rard Depardieu, Andr\u00e9 Marcon, Jean-Francois St\u00e9venin, Louis-Do de Lecquesaing Official Selection Venice International Film Festival.
