Vu sur France TV Je l’avais loupé et regretté à sa sortie. C’était vraiment très bien. C’est quand même super les films où il se passe quelque chose à chaque scène comme dans Bojarski. Vincent Lacoste est vraiment super et Benjamin voisin me fait trop penser à mon neveu B.
Synopsis
Lucien de Rubempré, a young, lower-class poet, leaves his family's printing house for Paris. Soon, he learns the dark side of the arts business as he tries to stay true to his dreams.
