1991 · 111 min · ★ 7.6 · Music, Science Fiction, Drama

STARMANIA is a cyberpunk rock opera that premiered on stage in 1979. In the near future, most developed countries have merged. Zéro Janvier, CEO of the biggest corporation in "The Occident" (as the new Western state is known) is campaigning to become President on a platform vowing to eliminate the terrorist group The Black Stars and their leader Johnny Rockfort. He has convinced the Stars' information broker Sadia to secretly work for him, while also courting the retiring film star Stella Spotlight. Meanwhile, Johnny Rockfort plans to kidnap television sweetheart Cristal, but he falls in love with her instead. Overlooking all this is Marie-Jeanne, a waitress in the café where the Black Stars meet, and her friend Ziggy, an obsessive David Bowie fan whose dearest wish is to appear on Cristal's music program STARMANIA. The show recounts these entwined love stories set in parallel, touching also on themes of terrorism, totalitarianism, and an individual's right to decide his own destiny.

Directed by Gérard Pullicino · Written by Luc Plamondon

Florent Pagny fait son Taratata

More than thirty years ago, in January 1993, Florent Pagny was part of the adventure of the very first "Taratata." Since then, his voice, his freedom, and his interpretive power have accompanied the history of the show. At La Seine Musicale, Nagui gives Florent Pagny carte blanche. Surrounded by his musicians and artist friends, he offers an exceptional interlude that is intimate, generous, and emotionally charged. This unique concert celebrates the release of his new album, Grandeur Nature, a personal, luminous record in which the singer evokes courage, resilience, and hope. True to the spirit of the show, this special is also punctuated by improvisations around Alain Lanty's piano and exchanges with Nagui for sincere and intimate moments.

Lara Fabian - Un regard 9 Live

2006 issued 15 track live album recorded in March 2006 in Paris, France at the Zenith Theatre. Before the concert songs kick in, this set begins with a studio recording of a previously unreleased song, "Aime", exclusive to this album. The rest of the concert recordings feature repertoire from Fabian's 2005 album "9" and the other older songs that pre-date the "9" song are all performed acoustically. Some had to be entirely reworked to fit the concept of this live show. In addition, Fabian delivers a tribute to her idol Barbra Streisand by performing "Papa Can You Hear Me" and "A Piece of Sky", both from the soundtrack of Streisand's film tour de force "Yentl"
