Lost Illusions

“Xavier Giannoli’s *Lost Illusions* is a razor-sharp, visually opulent dissection of ambition and journalistic corruption that feels startlingly modern despite its 19th-century setting. Anchored by a magnetic, vulnerable performance from Benjamin Voisin, this sweeping drama offers a cynical yet intoxicating look at the price of fame that will resonate deeply with fans of prestige period pieces and biting social satire.”
