About The Beautiful Story
A film with emphasis on visuals and music, the plot concerns characters who meet in present time, mainly the male gypsy Jesus, and the female thief and con-artist Odona, who share parallel experiences from lives 2000 years in the past. These stories are juxtaposed.
Directed by Claude Lelouch, The Beautiful Story leans on a strong ensemble — Gérard Lanvin, Béatrice Dalle, Vincent Lindon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1992.

It is the responsibility of a six-man Evacuation Committee to relocate the townsfolk to higher ground.
