Alexis Langlois’ glittercore 2000s-set queer pop musical QUEENS OF DRAMA from Altered Innocence will open April 18.

Check out our review of the film here.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

An outrageous lesbian pop musical satire inspired by the pop frenzy of the early 2000s, Queens of Drama charts the rise and fall of new star Mimi Madamour and her passionate, rage-fueled love affair with punk icon Billie Kohler. Over the course of half a century we follow these drama queens as they top the charts and set sail on the course of mad queer love. Featuring an iconic cast, including Asia Argento and Alma Jodorowsky, and containing hit songs like ‘Don’t Touch’ by Yelle and ‘Fisted to the Heart’, this film vividly dissects the turbulence of toxic relationships—whether between fans and their idols or within passionate queer love affairs. Director Alexis Langlois brings his trademark glittercore pop-punk aesthetic to create a vibrant, unforgettable spectacle of music and passion.

QUEENS OF DRAMA is led by newcomers Louiza Aura and genderqueer actor Gio Ventura, alongside a stacked cast featuring France’s Eurovision Song Contest 2019 singer Bilal Hassani, Alma Jodorowsky (BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR), and Asia Argento (XXX, LAND OF THE DEAD, MARIE ANTOINETTE).

Featuring music by Rebeka Warrior (Mansfield. TYA, Sexy Sushi and KOMPROMAT) and French electronic band Yelle, plus composers Mona Soyoc and Pierre Desprats (THE WILD BOYS). 

The film will open at Quad Cinema on April 18, expanding to Alamos Drafthouse theaters in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Austin on April 25 before further expanding to North American theaters in May. More details can be found at www.alteredinnocence.net/queensofdrama.
