Renaissance is a 2006 animated Tech noir science fiction film. The movie, which was co-produced in France, United Kingdom and Luxembourg, was directed by Christian Volckman. It was released on 15 March 2006 in France and 28 July 2006 in the UK by Miramax Films. In the English language version, some of the main characters are voiced by Daniel Craig, Jonathan Pryce and Ian Holm.
Renaissance uses a style of motion capture animation in which almost all images are exclusively black-and-white; only occasional colour is used for detail. The film concerns a French policeman investigating the kidnapping of a scientist who may hold the key to eternal life in a futuristic and slightly dystopian Paris.
The film opens in a future Paris with scenes establishing the kidnapping of 22-year-old scientist Ilona Tasuiev, who works for the megacorporation Avalon. The focus transitions to police captain Barthélémy Karas, as he defuses a hostage situation by killing the hostage-takers. Afterwards Karas is given the job of solving the mystery surrounding Ilona's disappearance. Karas begins by contacting Dr. Jonas Muller, a former Avalon scientist familiar with her.
This night sky's brighter than any i've ever seen
Your words are rolling off your lips
And i've never heard a voice so soothing
Your curly hair drapes in your eyes,
And soon your hand falls into mine
That just goes to show this night is endless
Your right, i know i've been unfair....but so have
you..
and this affair is starting over
So the days will go on anyways, just like they do
everyday
And at least i know i'm spending them with you
The sun and moon begin to share the sky
and our legs are intertwined /
and your smiling face serves as my reflection /
and this one last solemn kiss sends a shiver to my skin
That just goes to show this night is endless
Your right, i know i've been unfair....but so have
you..
and this affair is starting over
So the days will go on anyways, just like they do
everyday
And at least i know i'm spending them with you
Faded portraits on my wall
Staring back at me in spite
In spite of everything i've done
To prevent another fight
Everything seems clearer
Through this broken mirror
That was shattered by my fist / love should never come
to this
Your right, i know i've been unfair....but so have
you..
and this affair is starting over
So the days will go on anyways, just like they do
everyday
And at least i know i'm spending them with you
--(Guitar break)--
Your right, i know i've been unfair....but so have
you..
and this affair is starting over
So the days will go on anyways, just like they do
everyday
