BACKSTAGE
Dir. Emmanuelle Bercot, 2005.
France, 112 mins.
In French with English subtitles.
An oddball forgotten gem of the oughts - but still relevant as ever in the age of tween internet fandom - European festival mainstay Emmanuelle Bercots most striking film is a knotty teen pop opera with emotional intensity set to a speaker-blowing high. The great Isild Le Besco, French cinemas go-to for young queer hysteria, gives a fiercely committed performance as a high school girl hopelessly stanning for pop star Emmanuelle Seigner (The Ninth Gate, Venus in Fur). Their paths cross as the result of a bizarre MTV-style contest, and soon both women find their lives hopelessly entwined in a relationship of shifting power dynamics. Agnès Godard, cinematographer for Claire Denis, gives the film an edge thats woozy, love-drunk, stark, and surreal.
