‘Queens of Drama’ Review: Queer French Musical Serves a Fabulous, Glittery Extravaganza

We are now far enough removed from the glittercore of early 2000s pop music that its bubble-gum aesthetic has become as potent a post-Y2K period signifier as low-rise jeans and blond highlights. French filmmaker Alexis Langlois ' deliciously campy musical " Queens of Drama " feels like it's been conjured up inside a Claire's store where "…Baby One More Time" keeps playing on loop. But this tragic queer love story between a pop star and a punk rocker doesn't let the patina of nostalgia that envelops it cloud the thorny ideas about queerness, performance, feminism and femininity that Langlois packs into his gleefully deranged period piece. Such derangement is immediately apparent. In its first moments, Langlois turns his audience into "U-Tube" viewers tuning into the latest missive from an aging vlogger. Steevy Shady is played by Eurovision contestant and famed YouTuber Bilal Hassani. Sporting pink-hued wraparound sunglasses, a hor...
