CGiii Comment

This is a just too difficult to digest...if you can accept this level of celebrity obsession and abject misery...then, you're onto a winner.

Alas, we couldn't.

Furthermore, the original songs are all grotesque...

It's all very intense...and, devoid of entertainment value whatsoever.

The(ir) Blurb...

An adolescent groupie (Isild Le Besco) zeroes in on her Blondie-like idol (Emmanuelle Seigner) after the singer chances to cross her orbit on a publicity tour. Gradually their lives intertwine as, with near-operatic intensity, the film delves into the emotional dependency on both sides of celebrity culture.
