Horizon Perdu (1980)

Horizon Perdu is a moving film about the special friendship between Bernard Cadoux and Jean-Paul Lebesson, who often visited Stanislas Rodanski at Saint Jean de Dieu hospital over many years. Beginning in 1977, their visits led to profound conversations that inspired this film. The title references Frank Capra's *Lost Horizon*, and its mythical Shangri-La. However, Horizon Perdu isn’t a retelling; it offers a look into the lives of these three people and their lasting connection. With careful storytelling and visuals, the film is an emotional journey celebrating human connection, hope, and strength when facing hardship.
