Romain Gary is one of the most famous French novelists and the only writer to have twice won the Goncourt Prize for French literature. Barbier’s biopic offers a sweeping chronicle of his life, from his childhood in Poland and adolescence in Nice, to his years as a student in Paris and his tough training as a pilot during World War II, At the film’s heart is Gary’s complex relationship between Gary and his mother (played by the mesmerizing, award-winning actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, who drove him to greatness against all odds in a Europe torn by anti-Semitism and war. Director Barbier describes his film as a “moving story, which concerns us and haunts us all; how dreams guide us or how they deceive us. But also why you should never give up.”
