Film of the Month: “Lost Illusions”
With your BIBCARD you can stream movies and series for free on filmfriend – discover this month the multi-award-winning historical drama "Lost Illusions" by Xavier Giannoli.
In the 1820s, the young poet Lucien (Benjamin Voisin) leaves the provinces for Paris to become a writer. He lands a job at a tabloid newspaper by chance and quickly rises to prominence with his brilliant articles. But behind the glamour and success lie the mechanisms of power: profit, intrigue, and fake news. This lavishly produced Balzac adaptation was screened in competition at the Venice Film Festival and won seven César Awards – starring, among others, Cécile de France, Vincent Lacoste, and Gérard Depardieu.
