Neneh Superstar

Neneh Superstar is a 2022 French comedy drama film written and directed by Ramzi Ben Sliman, starring Oumy Bruni Garrel and Maïwenn.

Despite her enthusiasm, Neneh will have to redouble her efforts to escape from her condition and be accepted by the director of the school, Marianne Belage.

[9] While preparing this film, director Ramzi Ben Sliman watched many documentaries, in particular Graines d'étoiles by Françoise Marie, which follows students of the Paris Opera Ballet over the years.

[10] Director Ramzi Ben Sliman wrote the film for Maïwenn, who portrays the inflexible headmistress Marianne Belage, who refuses to accept Neneh into her ballet school.

To find an actress to portray the role of Neneh, Sliman searched in France and in particular in the DOM-TOMs, in all the French-speaking countries, in Mali, Senegal, etc.

[10] Sliman said in the film's press kit: And then I became aware of this other glass ceiling: little black girls give up ballet very early, because they see no future for them.

Having searched for her all over the world for months, the irony of fate wanted her to live with her parents 200 meters from my house.
