Liane de Pougy had been a “Demi-Mondaine” of the Belle époque (kind expression to indicate those who use beauty and immorality to climb the socio-economic elevator). This is why the director wanted the protagonist of his film to be called Liane, because she is too convinced that only with beauty can it come out of the social ghetto in which it is located.
And for this reason, at nineteen years he has already redone lips and breasts, convinced that they will help her break through. The problem is that she doesn’t even know where, until the day she is not called for a television reality show: will it be the opportunity for life?
Malou Khebizi is Liane in “Wild Diamond” by Agathe Riedinger
We will only know at the end if it was chosen or not but in the meantime We see the effect of that “dream” on her, which considers the most important response of real life.
The newcomer director prefers to accumulate ideas and digressions (the conflicting relationship with the mother, the narcissistic one with friends, the different faces of male desire) at the expense of a more linear narrative, but Thanks to the interpreter Malou Khebizi the portrait of a young man condemned to be “slave” of his own fantasies It is of those who do not forget.
The other side of Adolescence: for those who want to enter the minds of the girls.
