    A totally absorbing and entertaining portrayal of one of the world’s undeniable literary geniuses. Still, he was for the most part it seems, miserable. And so while eliciting a deep regard for Balzac’s untenable intellect and literary contributions to the world, this documentary also makes me glad to just be myself, unencumbered by genius and ambition. As musician Tiny Tim sang, “Aren’t You Glad To Be You?!” Indeed, I am, thou great philosopher, Mr. Tim, indeed I am! 😄

    Interesting documentary, but please, he was not "Ball-Jack" but Balzac - why not using the French pronunciation?

    The poor presenter of this documentary! Anyone who has a smattering of French language cannot fail to constantly flinch at his pronunciation. Did the presenter accept this commission out of desperation? Was he unaware of his terrible accent? Apart from that, the documentary is good, well compiled and illustrated and draws on well informed (and more linguistically capable) experts in the field particularly Graham Robb who has written a weighty biography of Balzac. So all in all, I am thankful to have discovered this (though still flinching at the end!)

    Poor subtitles and French pronunciation but otherwise good introduction to the author. (from Green Fire, UK) 🌈🦉

    I miss the other speaker (Hugo, Zola). He could pronounce the french names very well.

    This is not the Balzac I felt when I read him. And as for the affectations of the voice of Michele Hannoosh..ridiculous.(((

    Honore' de Balzac, an adventure for sure. The will and power, "The will consumes power and destroys us."
