THE DONALD M. EPHRAIM SUN & STARS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Jan 28, 2025 |Marshall E. Rinker, Sr. Playhouse
Palm Beach County Premiere
Drama, Coming-of Age, Social Media, France
(DIAMANT BRUT)
2024, Agathe Riedinger, France
With Malou Khébizi, Idir Azougli
Liane (Khébizi), a working-class teen in the south of France, lives for social media and aspires to Kardashian glitz styled from tawdry shoplifted booty. Selected to compete for the Palm d’Or in the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, WILD DIAMOND represents a daring new generation of go-for-broke French female directors. Although her online persona is brash and cartoonishly sexy, Liane is paradoxically an innocent, never more so than when she is led on by the scout for a TV reality show in search of new talent. Writer/director Riedinger poignantly creates a unique portrait of a wannabe influencer hungry for the endless fame of the internet. In French with English subtitles.
“A startlingly bold and true French drama…the audience feels blessed by the arrival of a filmmaker this accomplished.”–Owen Gleiberman, Variety
“Forthright and fluent and fiercely acted by a newcomer lead.”– Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
