Sci-fi film noir filmed in a unique style in which real actors are transformed through motion-capture animation to create a black and white comic-strip style. Set in a near-future Paris, the film depicts the city as a menacing place dominated by the vast and all-seeing Avalon Corporation, which has insinuated itself into every aspect of modern life through its sales of the ultimate commodities: youth and beauty. When a beautiful young scientist, Ilona (Romola Garai) is kidnapped, police officer Barthélémy Karas (Daniel Craig) is assigned to solve the case. His investigation leads him down a deadly path, and he eventually discovers that events that took place back in 2006 have irrevocably affected the future of humankind with dire consequences.
Set in mid 21st century Paris, RENAISSANCE sees the brilliant young researcher Ilona Tassueiv kidnapped. Her employers at the gargantuan multinational company Avalon call for hostage retrieval specialist Officer Bartholomew Karas to take charge of the case. Karas digs deep into the Parisian underbelly to find information about the kidnapping. However, things are not as they seem and Karas is forced to question the motives of everyone. The animated film noir has a distinctive and highly impressive visual style. The live action footage has been digitally rendered, leading to an exceptional level of realism. With a similar look to SIN CITY, RENAISSANCE succeeds in making the Paris of 2054 look a dark and menacing place--perfectly suiting the film noir style of the production--and creating an animated film that looks a lot like a live action film.
