Bambi: A French Woman

The film explores Marie-Pierre's journey from her birth in Algiers to her emergence as Bambi, a prominent figure in the Parisian drag scene. At just 17 years old, she discovers a drag show that changes her life, leading her to reject her given name, Jean-Pierre, and embrace her true identity.

This feature-length documentary builds upon a previous short film from 2013, offering a more comprehensive look at Bambi's life and impact on cabaret culture. The film captures the essence of the 50s and 60s Parisian nightlife and the evolution of drag performance, making it a significant piece for those interested in LGBTQ+ history and performance art.
