In this sensational adaptation of French writer, Romain Gary’s beloved memoir, Charlotte Gainsbourg (Melancholia) and Pierre Niney (Yves Saint Laurent) star in this story of a man driven to greatness while in search of maternal approval. Director Eric Barbier offers a sweeping narrative that takes us from Gary’s childhood in Poland to his years as a student in Paris, and his training as a pilot during World War II. “A film that lives up to the original masterpiece novel.”
