The 75th edition of the Cannes Film Festival is fast approaching. This will take place from May 17 to 28 and already promises to cause a sensation. In particular because it will be marked by the return on the public stage of Diam’s ! Indeed, ten years after retiring from the music business, the 41-year-old rapper is releasing her documentary Hello (“Peace” in Arabic, editor’s note) which she co-directed with Houda Benyamina and Anne Cissé. A film that will be shown on the big screen during the event.
The production company BrutX explained through an official press release that Mélanie Georgiades, of her real name, was told there for the first time “open heart” and “facing the camera“.”She talks about fame, psychiatry, the quest for meaning and her conversion to Islam. She takes us in the footsteps of Diam’s and reveals in this intimate and modest story the secrets of her story.“, we learn.
Very good news for Diam’s fans who have been dreaming of seeing her again for a long time. They were able to learn more about the project thanks to Bernard Montiel in TPMP-Week end Friday, May 6, 2022.”What is told in this documentary are his excesses, all the stays in a psychiatric hospital as well, his suicide attempts, his conversion to Islam in 2008“, specified the columnist. Bernard Montiel, on the other hand, disappointed more than one by revealing a big scoop. “What I can tell you is thatshe will not go to the Cannes Film Festival, present the film“, he announced.
A decision he feels is “logic“following Diam’s journey.”It’s consistent in what she wants because now she is dedicated to her family and her faith. She’s happy like that and so she doesn’t need to climb the steps of Canneswhich is still a big show, rhinestones and sequins… So she won’t go“, he explained. Other well-known personalities should, however, be there, such as Marion Cotillard, Romain Duris or even Kristen Stewart and Anthony Hopkins. In addition, we already know the name of the actor who will receive a Palme d’honneur: Forest Whitaker.
