The idea of taking such a broad concept like « authentic inclusive representation » and turning it into a mathematical variable of sorts is slightly eyebrow-raising. To use a recent real-world example, some may have found the depiction of the scene-stealing limo driver Karun (Harish Patel) in « Eternals » to be cloying and stereotypical to the extreme, while the majority of viewers were wholly unbothered by such comedic relief and praised him (along with the casting of Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo) for the increased diversity in the superhero movie.

La diversidad sería un recurso para darle mayor verosimilitud a su historia y su universo, ¿entonces por qué un grupo considerable lo siente como si estuviera forzado? A pesar que los prejuicios sustentan dicha postura, sería reduccionista reducirlo a ello, más aún cuando la propia industria cinematográfica es responsable de dicha percepción.

La tercera película de la realizadora argentina Julia Solomonoff es un desgarrado e intimista poema sobre la dificultad de un inmigrante latino por integrarse en los círculos artísticos de Nueva York, al tratar de participar en una película cuyo rodaje se pospone.
De nationalité française mais appartenant à deux, voire trois minorités (Gitans, Kabyles, Maghrébins), ce « gitan-beur » comme le nomment certains se revendique inclassable, sinon « méditerranéen » mais avant tout déraciné, c’est-à-dire nomade, ouvert à l’Autre et dans la Relation. Ce parti-pris identitaire explique le choix de ses personnages en marge, que ce soit les Roms, les chômeurs, les prostitués, les immigrés, les sans-papiers.
