Joining the discussion are Arthur Bouet, editor-in-chief of Amateur·e and film critic, and Aniss El Hamouri, comic book author and contributor to the journal. In a conversation (in French) moderated by Katia Peignois, they will examine how films engage with the concept of fame and how an actor’s celebrity can sometimes illuminate, distort, or even shape a work. With an eclectic and playful approach, the discussion will touch on Perfect Blue by Satoshi Kon, depicting the downfall of a pop idol; the death of icons in Star Wars: The Last Jedi by Rian Johnson; Wanda, the sole film directed by Barbara Loden, an actress who never quite fit into the Hollywood mold; and the strange career of Vin Diesel, an actor-turned-demiurge commanding a post-racial world in his Fast & Furious saga.
