When a beautiful young scientist, Ilona (Romola Garai) is kidnapped, police officer Barthlmy Karas (Daniel Craig) is assigned to solve the case. Detailed in a lengthy and absorbing "making of" featurette, the film's look is a combination of CG animation, motion capture, and a palette consisting solely of black & white (there are a few splashes of color late in the proceedings, but no gray whatsoever).

Additional InformationSet 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.

ReviewsThe Guardian - Remarkable... Compares favourably with Sin City, Variety - Take 'Metropolis' 'Blade Runner' and 'Sin City'... and you'll have a semblance of 'Renaissance'. Shines a new light on film noir
