In nuce: This VFX breakdown by MPC Episodic is dedicated to the visual effects of the French feature film “Lost Illusions” by director Xavier Giannoli. The film is a treat for fans of costume films and historical dramas – with a dash of champagne comedy.
What is Lost Illusions about? The feature film “Lost Illusions” (in the original French: “Illusions perdues”) tells the story of a young man who sets off for Paris with the desire to become a writer – but ends up becoming a journalist. We think: If you want to find out how writing and journalism can be combined (and cultivate a phobia of adjectives and adverbs), you’d better give yourself the complete works of professional drinker Ernest Hemingway.
Film adaptation of a literary model: “Lost Illusions” is a film adaptation of a book based on the novel of the same name by French novelist Honoré de Balzac. If you want to experience the human comedy from the perspective of the fourth estate during the Restoration, you should watch “Lost Illusions” or read Balzac’s classic novel. We have linked the VFX breakdown right here below, along with the trailer for the film.
Click further: We last told you about MPC Episodic on 21 August 2020 , when the Berlin studio opened its doors and appointed Franzisca Puppe as Executive Producer and Thomas Knop as Head of Studio. We have this to say: VFX company history of the latest vintage – always worth a click.
