Stardom


Stardom is a 2000 Canadian comedy-drama film directed by Denys Arcand and written by J.Jacob Potashnik and Arcand. It stars Jessica Paré and Dan Aykroyd. It tells the story of a young girl who tries to cope with her rise to stardom after being discovered by a fashion agency. The film was screened out of competition at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.
Arcand cited his later film Days of [Darkness (2007 Canadian film)|Days of Darkness] as similar to Stardom, though Days of Darkness was ostensibly a sequel to his other films The Decline of the American Empire and The Barbarian Invasions.
