Lucie (Isild Le Besco) is a typical teenager living in a provincial suburb in France. Her predictable life is forever changed when a reality television show brings sexy pop chanteuse Lauren Waks (Emmanuelle Seigner) right into Lucie’s bedroom and, unwittingly, forever into her life. The relationship that unfolds between the two exposes the dark and destructive world that lies behind the glittering façade of celebrity and stardom, that lies Backstage. In a world relentlessly tuned in to “American Idol” and the daily lives of the TomKats and Bennifers, the universal obsession with celebrity can cross the line into fanaticism. In keeping with the times, Emmanuelle Bercot’s stunning feature directorial debut explores the psyches of both the star and her adoring fan to reveal a troubling view on the world of celebrity worship and the complicating trappings of fame. |
