French music star Amelia Starlight is dying. More than a decade has passed since the singer abruptly retired from TV shows and concert halls. Tonight, on Danielle Villard’s famous talk show, France reunites with her for a very special live show…
A word from Tënk
Amelia Starlight offers a poignant perspective on the public’s love for its stars. Steeped in melancholy, this short film movingly portrays the tragic end of a celebrated figure. The team was struck by the film’s refined and beautiful direction, and by the powerful performance of Emmanuelle Béart, who brings remarkable sincerity to the character’s distress as she bids farewell to her audience.
