The Childhood of Icarus (original French title: L'Enfance d'Icare) is a 2011 film co-written, co-produced, and directed by the Romanian-born Swiss director Alex Iordăchescu.[1]
The film stars an ensemble cast that includes notable actors from France, Switzerland, and Romania: Guillaume Depardieu, Alysson Paradis, Carlo Brandt, Sophie Lukasik, Dorotheea Petre, Patricia Bopp, Jean-Pierre Gos, and Mădălina Constantin. It was released more than two years after the death of the leading actor, Depardieu, from an infection acquired while making this movie.[2][3]
Plot[edit]
Following an accident, Jonathan Vogel (played by Guillaume Depardieu) loses a leg. Professor Karr (played by Carlo Brandt) offers a revolutionary treatment that will change his life. But this crazy dream turns into a nightmare, and Vogel becomes the victim of a terrible medical mistake.
