    This movie is so reminiscent of the movie "Almost Famous". Only this is in french and is a bit mellow with a slightly different plot. The movie explores the extreme celebrity fan whose life totally revolves around a particular singer and goes to the extremes to win her affection. There is some skin in the movie, but nothing to gross out the weak hearted. Isild Le Besco is a surefire upcoming French actress. She has a charisma infront of the camera i havent seen in recent times. Definitely a must see if you dont mind subtitled movies !!!! 4 thumbs up !!!!
