[CINEMA] SUPREMES

“SUPREMES”, by Audrey Estrougo

Synopsis:

“Supremes” is an electrifying musical biopic directed by Audrey Estrougo that immerses us in the tumultuous beginnings of the iconic French rap group NTM, formed by JoeyStarr and Kool Shen.

The film transports us to the 1990s, in the heart of the Parisian suburbs, where two young men passionate about hip-hop would revolutionize the French music scene. From their first freestyles in the streets of Saint-Denis to their explosive concerts that would capture the attention of an entire generation, “Supremes” traces the meteoric rise of a group that gave a voice to the invisible.

Beyond the musical journey, the film explores NTM’s social and political engagement, their hard-hitting lyrics denouncing injustice, racism, and living conditions in working-class neighborhoods. In a France undergoing significant social change, their music became the symbol of a youth refusing to be silenced.

“Supremes” is both a celebration of the birth of French hip-hop and a historical document about a pivotal period that shaped contemporary urban culture.
