Liane, a 19-year-old Frenchwoman, dreams of a great career and recognition. Living with her mother and younger sister, she closely observes internet trends and reality TV shows. Her greatest hopes lie in auditions for Miracle Island. Will she finally break away from her provincial town? In Wild Diamond, Agathe Riedinger portrays a type of heroine that we rarely see in contemporary French cinema. Long nails, heavy make-up and skimpy outfits distinguish Liane from the local community, but they also provoke ambiguous online comments and objectifying male gazes. The director avoids quick judgments and moralizing theses, focusing on realistic observations and an Instagram style that reflects the tastes of a teenager. At the same time, Riedinger delves into omnipresent sexism, unattainable standards of beauty and terrible intergenerational communication. She is clearly inspired by the work of Andrea Arnold, but she is also looking for her own language and an unconventional approach to realism. Her social zeal does not prevent her from constantly playing with form and aesthetics.
