Marie Colomb plays Loana, controversial reality TV icon, in Culte, a highly anticipated series inspired by Loft Story, a pioneering French reality TV show.
Broadcast from Friday October 18 on Prime Video, the series explores the underside of the program, which marked an entire generation in 2001.
The character of Fightplayed by Marie Colombis presented in a more complex light than its image of “silicone bimbo” from the 2000s.
“This role immediately appealed to me because it shows a different Loana, far from stereotypes”explains the actress.
Worship depicts a young woman who, despite her sudden fame, had to face significant obstacles, such as her painful past and social judgments.
The series also highlights behind the scenes of the Loft, in particular the figures who made this program, such as Alexia Laroche-Joubert, played by Anaïde Rozam.
With this nuanced approach, Culte attempts to rehabilitate the story of Loana, thrown into the spotlight without protection, but also that of a courageous woman who has gone through many struggles.
Actress Marie Colomb says she feels pressure to play such a character, saying that for her, it’s fiction, but for Loana, it’s her life.
