As the story goes, Lucien de Rubempré (César winner Benjamin Voisin) arrives in 1820s Paris as a sensitive and idealistic young poet determined to write a reputation-making novel. Instead, he finds himself swept into journalism, the influence and reach of which is booming with the help of the printing press, widely available of late.
Under the mentorship of cynical editor Étienne Lousteau (César winner Vincent Lacoste), Lucien agrees to write rave theater reviews for bribes, achieving material success at the expense of his conscience. With this sweeping adaptation of one of 19th century French writer Honoré de Balzac’s greatest novels, Xavier Giannoli crafts a contemporary tale of corruption amid an early form of “fake news.” For more information, visit internationalshowcase.org online.
