Madame Hollywood (2002)

Madame Hollywood is a drama steeped in the ambition and artifice of image-making. Glamour and exposure sit uneasily close together here. Delphine Chaneac takes center stage in this film. She brings a raw quality to a role that asks for real vulnerability. The archive holds one clip from the film, and it's a telling one. In it, she sheds every layer of pretense along with her clothes. She bares all in a scene built for unguarded honesty. It's a brief but pointed entry point for anyone tracking her more daring screen work.
