"IDOLE INSTANTANÉE" is a story of four young women who become finalists in a program that will transform one of them into an "instant star". The famous comedian Quebec, Claudine Mercier in a heterogeneous role performs as the four main characters. Alternating between scenes of comedy and sentimentality, the film shows us the qualities and follies of these characters. The film, which sometimes takes on a pseudo-documentary style, is also a parody of the cultural phenomenon of reality TV shows with all its commercial extravagance of the artificial construction of the cult of celebrity, as well as the fanatical admirers, produced by modern media. Not only Is the film a satire of contemporary media trends, it also ridicules the intellectual snobbery which attempts to contextualize the social sphereof cultural and moralityin the image conscious modern culture.
