About this product

Product Information

In the near future in a Paris, France, made of Plexiglas, aerodynamic steel beams, and rainslicked surfaces, a sinister plot unfolds: it's one honest cop (voiced by Daniel Craig) against an evil corporatocracy, corrupt scientists, and the mob, as he uses his wits and grit to rescue a brilliant, beautiful female geneticist who has been kidnapped. What he learns on his rescue mission challenges his most hard-boiled preconceptions about who's really running things.Christian Volckman's first feature film is rendered in astonishing black-and-white "motion capture" animation that continually yields inventive and subtle visual surprises--car chases take on cosmic proportions, cigarette smoke engulfs an entire room like a lovely wraith, and the already beautiful Parisian skyline becomes a dizzying, jeweled spectacle. A descendent of classic science-fiction tech-noir like BLADERUNNER, Volckman's film envisions the near future as a cold and heartless place where corporations are supreme and surface beauty is everything; whole scenes are constructed from reflections in nighttime windows, mirrors, and other shiny expanses, and false (but pretty) facades are created to confuse and imprison characters. This constant emphasis on empty, backwards images supports Volckman's seeming disgust with society's preoccupation with youthful beauty (and the multibillion-dollar cosmetic industries that keep us hooked), although his own film is relentlessly gorgeous.

  • Interesting ... But Ultimately Unsatisfying

    "Renaissance" must have sounded great on paper: a black-and-white animated film noir set in Paris of the future and featuring a stunning new method of CGI animation. But "Renaissance" as a film fails as much as it succeeds. Yes, the animation is stunning and the voice-over actors — Daniel Craig especially — deliver competent performances. However, the animation is so stunning that it detracts from the story. The blacks are too black, blending background and character alike, while the whites are so over-saturated that human emotion is nearly impossible. You'll find that you miss so much while your eyes try to decipher the world of "Renaissance" that you miss most of the story. Let's remember: animation is meant to supplement, not overpower or eliminate, the plot. Thanks for reading. If ...

  • great animé

    amazing truly amazing animé, all in black and white, an european creation, daniel craig (James Bond) voice as the main character.

  • Excellent film noir

    Very stylish movie with a great plot, and characters voiced by Daniel Craig (the newest James Bond) and others. I also like the DVD extras, explaining the creative process behind the creation of this film.
