Superstar (2012 film)


Superstar is a 2012 French comedy film directed by Xavier Giannoli. The film was selected to compete for the Golden Lion at the 69th Venice International Film Festival.

Martin is now broke, and the TV studio offers him a chance to cash in on his fame. He turns them down. A TV host introduces him to some shady characters who try to get him involved in their activities but he refuses them too. Suddenly the public turns against him. A woman strikes and spits on him in a grocery store, and he is pursued by a mob. Fleur decides to move in with the TV producer. Martin quarrels with her, then falls into despair as he becomes an object of public vilification. He hides out with a drag queen Philomne who appeared with him at a talk show. He returns to the studio to ask for help but is treated with contempt by the producer, who does however reveal that Fleur has disappeared.Months later we see Martin at a private launch of an autobiography he has had ghostwritten for him. Some of his friends from his celebrity period are still around, but he has apparently been largely forgotten. The doorbell rings and, when he opens it, Fleur is there. He tells her to leave, but a passage Philomne reads from the autobiography makes him change his mind and he goes after her. As the film ends, the two seem to be returning to the launch. ........
