Q&A with Agathe Riedinger on March 15

Nineteen-year-old Liane (Malou Khebizi) lives with her mother and sister in a small southern town and harbors dreams of achieving fame as a reality TV contestant. When she auditions for Miracle Island, her breakout moment seems imminent—but anticipation soon curdles into disillusionment, and Liane’s hopes start crashing as she spirals into self-doubt. Scouting nonprofessional performers for her feature debut (the only first film selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at last year’s Cannes Film Festival), writer-director Agathe Riedinger treats potentially sensationalistic material with an authentic and refreshingly non-judgmental gaze, bringing a complex perspective to a subject often reduced to well-worn sound bites, and introducing viewers to the lesser-known rhythms of life in the workaday small cities of the Côte d’Azur region. A Strand Releasing release.
