Director: Agathe Riedinger
Nineteen years old, restless, and chasing a version of fame she's only ever seen through a phone screen, Liane is the beating center of Wild Diamond, a 2024 French drama from director Agathe Riedinger.
What is Diamant brut about?
Liane shares a small home with her mother and younger sister in Fréjus, a town on France's southern coast, and spends most of her energy on an image she's building for herself rather than the life around her. Convinced that beauty and visibility are her only real path forward, she auditions for a reality television program called Miracle Island, treating the casting process as a possible turning point. The film tracks the gap between the glossy, curated self she presents online and the more fragile, uncertain person underneath, without ever mocking her ambition. Riedinger shoots the coastal town with a rough, sun-bleached intimacy, letting Liane's daily routines — job hunting, family friction, waiting for a casting call back — carry as much weight as the reality-show storyline itself.
Cast & crew
Malou Khebizi carries the film as Liane, supported by Idir Azougli, Andréa Bescond, and Ashley Romano, alongside Alexis Manenti, Kilia Fernane, Léa Gorla, and Alexandra Noisier rounding out the ensemble around her family and social circle in Fréjus.
Context & significance
Wild Diamond is a French production that premiered in 2024, part of a wave of European dramas examining how social media and reality television reshape ambition for a younger generation. Its focus on a single, specific coastal town gives the story a grounded, local texture rather than a generic backdrop, and its drama classification sets it apart from more plot-driven genre fare in the same catalog.
