Lost Illusions
Balzac’s classic novel told through the eyes and mind of resident director Jan Mikulášek. The story’s protagonist, Lucien Chardon is a talented poet from a small town hoping to find success and fortune in Paris. To his dismay he quickly finds that knowing the right people and being rich is more important for a writer than any amount of talent… Its critical analysis of society is what makes this novel still relatable today.
