Plot
An adolescent groupie zeroes in on her Blondie-like idol after the singer chances to cross her orbit on a publicity tour. Gradually their lives intertwine as, with near-operatic intensity, the film delves into the emotional dependency on both sides of celebrity culture.
Sinekatalog’s take
A feverish psychological drama about a fan's obsession with a star and the strange dependence that grows between them. It has bold, operatic emotion, even when it overreaches. Suits those who like intense, uncomfortable two-woman character studies.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
