Malou Khebizithe discovery of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival? In the shoes of Liane, a new generation influencer, she caused a sensation during the last edition, in Rough Diamond. A first role in the cinema in which she amazed the editorial staff of First. They were also made for each other with its director, also a newcomer to feature films: Agathe Riedinger.
A few months after this great welcome, we finally discover the trailer for Rough diamond :
The story? Liane, 19 years old, reckless and incandescent, lives with her mother and her little sister under the dusty sun of Fréjus. Obsessed by beauty and the need to become someone, she sees in reality TV the possibility of being loved. Then comes into her life a smokescreen called a scintillating mirage: “Miracle Island”, a reality TV show for which she will participate in a long selection process. Destiny seems to smile on him.
Accustomed to handling a glittery-trash aesthetic to articulate the borderline experiences of a materialistic and wealth-obsessed generationAgathe Riedinger already confided in Clermont-Ferrand her obsession “for bad taste, for too-much“. Here, on the same scenario as his short film I'm waiting for Jupiter (2017), this work of exuberance is combined with serious double bass chords resonating from the soundtrack, announcing a powerful reflection on the cult of beauty.
Dated November 20, 2024, the film chooses its timing well. What this explosive teen movie aims to open our eyes to is the other side of the coin of a world where reality TV is the symptom of a deep social malaise. And how not to think about the series Worshipwhich starts on Prime, and which tells for today's audiences the story of Loana's Loft Story from the producers' point of view: or how Loana was discovered in the go-go club where she works, then sacrificed on the altar of fame.
