Lily-Rose Depp Shines as Provocative Pop Star in HBO's 'The Idol' at Cannes

The Idol, a controversial HBO series by Sam Levinson, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. The show is a satire on the sensation-saturated world of contemporary pop culture, where good is bad and bad is the bare minimum. The story follows Jocelyn, a famous singer recovering from a breakdown after the death of her mother, as she plans her comeback. Lily-Rose Depp delivers a highly sexualized performance that addresses the fine lines between porn and art, power and exploitation that have faced young women in the music industry for years.
