La guerre des étoiles

A very special memory from Academy Award nominee Coralie Fargeat writer, director, and producer of THE SUBSTANCE, debuted by Letterboxd on 17 February 2025. “30 years ago, when I was 17 years old, I made a little Star Wars film. Using my family's camcorder, I animated my toys frame by frame in stop motion, disguised my friends as Ewoks and stormtroopers, and edited on a VHS video recorder (which was the top device at the time!). It was such an amateur endeavor, but everything I loved about making films was already there… It was the place where I felt free, passionate and alive, and able to fully express myself. It’s after I made this little film that I knew that I wanted to be a director... Today as I am nominated for Best Director, I can’t help but remember this little film... Follow your dreams!” —Coralie Fargeat

The exotic refers to the strange, the mysterious, the weird, the unusual. Particularly in wrestling exotic style refers to refined athletes in their clothing, well groomed, with a very special walk, occasionally thin effeminate.
