Queens of Drama

Premiered at the Cannes Film Festival’s Critics’ Week, this hyper-queer French musical spans 50 years of romance and rivalry between two music stars. In 2005, after meeting at auditions for a reality show, pop diva Mimi Madamour becomes involved with her future rival, Billie Kohler, a rising nihilist punk icon. By 2055, after both have faded into obscurity, their fan Steve Shady recalls their story. A camp anthem to excess, delirium, and queer resilience, filled with nods to the worlds of Britney Spears and Perez Hilton.
