In a nightclub, four hard-core party girls ambush an unsuspecting girl in a bathroom and beat her to a pulp. When the dead girl shows up on the news, the group's leader, Love vanishes, presumably murdered. The three remaining girls, unclear of what has happened to Love, begin to distort the truth, shifting the blame from one to the other, with each determined to be the one who makes it out of this tangled web of deceit and paranoia alive.LOST & DELIRIOUS - DVD MovieSTARDOM - DVD MovieThis witty and skillful examination of contemporary celebrity depicts a Canadian girl's rise from teen hockey player to international supermodel, with a sharp, satirical eye at every step along the way. The rise and fall of Tina (real-life model Jessica Paré) is depicted through a cunning intersplicing of fake talk shows, local and international news programs, documentary footage, rock videos, a! nd fashion travelogues. Yet in the process, director Denys Arcand (
Jesus of Montreal,
Love and Human Remains) still creates characters that--though comic and exaggerated--are sneakily real, including an obsessive restaurateur (Dan Aykroyd), a snobbish ambassador (Frank Langella), and an aloof, calculating agent (Thomas Gibson). Along with well-chosen topical references (from Bret Easton Ellis to Tiger Woods), the movie features many characters suspiciously close to real celebrities, particularly a photographer/documentarian with a marked resemblance to Bruce Weber.
Stardom is smart, funny, and ultimately sympathetic.
