A Star Is Born

Description

Lady Gaga is back, with a movie and its soundtrack: A Star Is Born. The film will be released in France on October 3 in 500 theaters and is directed by Bradley Cooper. The cast includes Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Andrew Dice Clay, among others. This is Cooper's first feature film (as a director). Through this remake of "A Star Is Born" (French title "Une Etoile Est Née"), he continues the love story of Hollywood with the eponymous film from 1937 (at the time with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March), about a movie star who helps a young actress become famous, while age and alcoholism plunge his own career into a downward spiral. The film was then remade in 1954 by director George Cukor, with Judy Garland and James Mason starring, and again in 1976, with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson headlining.
The storyline remains +/- the same: A somewhat forgotten country star, Jackson Maine discovers Ally, a very promising young singer. As they fall madly in love with each other, Jack propels Ally to the forefront and makes her a pop artist adored by the public. Soon eclipsed by the young woman's success, he increasingly struggles with his own decline…
The film's soundtrack consists solely of originals (15 tracks) performed by Bradley Cooper and/or Lady Gaga, extremely well highlighted in the film.
